Overview AFM 2% Lotion

AFM 2% Lotion, a vasodilating agent, is indicated for androgenetic alopecia in adult males. Application should be strictly to the scalp as directed by your physician or the product label, on clean, dry skin. Visible hair regrowth may require 2-4 months, initially appearing fine, light, and subtle. Exceeding the recommended dosage won't accelerate results and might increase adverse reactions. Continuous use is crucial for maintaining growth. Consult your doctor if no improvement or worsening occurs after 4-6 months of treatment. Common side effects include pruritus, hypertrichosis, skin rash, and dermatitis. Accidental application elsewhere may cause unwanted hair growth; rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs with eyes, mouth, or broken skin. Report persistent or bothersome side effects to your healthcare provider. This lotion is generally unsuitable for individuals under 18 or over 65, those experiencing medication-induced or nutritional deficiency-related hair loss, and those with hypertension or existing scalp treatments. Individuals with cardiovascular disease or circulatory issues should consult their physician before use.
