Overview Foliab 5% Solution

Minoxidil 5% topical solution, a vasodilating agent, stimulates hair regrowth in men experiencing androgenetic alopecia. Apply only to the scalp as directed on the product label or by your physician; ensure the scalp is clean and dry beforehand. Visible hair growth may take 2 to 4 months, initially appearing fine, light, and subtle. Exceeding the recommended dosage won't accelerate results and increases the risk of adverse reactions. Continuous use is necessary to sustain hair growth. Consult your doctor if no improvement or worsening occurs after 4-6 months of treatment. Common side effects include scalp irritation, 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 doctor. Generally, Minoxidil 5% solution is not recommended for individuals under 18 or over 65 years of age, those experiencing medication-induced or nutritional deficiency-related hair loss, or those with hypertension or concurrent scalp treatments. Individuals with cardiovascular disease or circulatory disorders should consult their physician before use.
