✔️ Pharmacology

Biotin, also known as vitamin H, is an essential vitamin involved in key physiological functions like fatty acid synthesis, amino acid catabolism, and gluconeogenesis. It acts as a cofactor in the enzymatic carboxylation of pyruvate and acetyl-CoA. Biotin influences the growth and differentiation of epidermal cells, playing a crucial role in the formation and renewal of the skin, hair, and nails. It functions as a coenzyme for mitochondrial carboxylases in hair roots, enhancing keratin structure. Biotin deficiency can lead to hair loss and systemic symptoms such as dermatitis and aciduria. Biotin is commonly prescribed for various types of hair loss.
