What is Minoxidil?

Minoxidil is a hormone-free lotion applied to the scalp. It can assist with thinning hair, a condition sometimes experienced by women during menopause. The lotion works by enhancing blood flow to the hair follicles, which may promote hair growth. It is specifically intended for women experiencing thinning hair on the crown or top of the head. This product is designed exclusively for use on the scalp and should not be applied to other parts of the body. The lotion is available by prescription only.

What can you expect from Minoxidil?

Minoxidil is a lotion or solution designed for application to the scalp. It works by stimulating the hair follicles, which can lead to an increase in hair volume. Initial results are typically visible after 2 to 4 months, although it may take up to 8 months to see the full effect. For optimal results, it is essential to use the lotion or solution daily. Discontinuing use may result in the loss of the achieved effect.

When should I use Minoxidil?

Minoxidil should be applied once or twice daily to a dry scalp. Use it directly on the areas where your hair is thinning. Avoid contact with the eyes, mucous membranes, and damaged skin. Wash your hands thoroughly after application.

The package leaflet contains comprehensive information about this product. Ensure you read the leaflet before using the product.

Are hypersensitive to minoxidil or any of the other ingredients.
Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
