Hi.
 I am about to start this treatment and wonder if my hair will be affected. I already take (have been taking it for years since menopause) VIVISCAL supplement for my hair and swear by it. However, I don’t know yet if I can safely take VIVISCAL during BCG treatment. 

  • You'll need to ask your consultant/specialist nurse. The BCG itself does not affect hair as far as I know. Had your hair significantly thinned before taking the supplement?

    I’ve been taking VIVISCAL (Nourkin before it got updated) for well over 30 years. I started taking it during my menopause when my hair thinned and became very brittle. It saved the day for me. My hair returned to normal once I started taking the supplement.
