• Minoxidil is a category of drugs called vasodilators that promotes hair growth
• Effective in the treatment of pattern baldness, particularly observed in men
• Acts directly on the scalp for hair growth in the bald areas
• Should ideally be used by men in the age group of 18 to 65 years

• Apply 1 ml of Minoxidil topical solution twice daily onto a clean, dry scalp. Once in the morning and once at night. For best results, leave it on the scalp for at least four hours before washing. You can also apply the solution at night, 2 to 4 hours before sleeping, to ensure it dries properly.
• Avoid using larger and more frequent doses of the drug to avoid the risk of adverse effects and unwanted hair growth.
• Wash hands immediately after applying the solution.
• Over application of the dosage will not result in speeding up the process and instead end up in adverse side effects.
• In case of missed dosage, please continue with the medication and the treatment.
