Overview Zenoxidil 5% Solution

Minoxidil 5% topical solution, a vasodilating agent, stimulates hair regrowth in adult males experiencing androgenetic alopecia. Apply only to the scalp as directed on the product label or by your physician, ensuring the scalp is clean and dry beforehand. Visible hair growth may take 2 to 4 months; initial growth can be fine, light-colored, and subtle. Exceeding the recommended dosage won't accelerate results and may increase adverse reactions. Consistent use is crucial for maintaining hair growth. Consult your doctor if there's no improvement or worsening of your condition after 4–6 months of treatment. Common side effects include scalp irritation, excessive hair growth, skin rashes, and dermatitis. Accidental application elsewhere can lead to unwanted hair growth; rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs with eyes, mouth, or broken skin. Report persistent or bothersome side effects to your physician. Generally, Minoxidil 5% solution is not recommended for individuals under 18 or over 65 years of age, those experiencing medication-induced hair loss (e.g., chemotherapy), nutritional deficiencies, hypertension, or those concurrently using other topical scalp treatments. Individuals with cardiovascular disease or circulatory problems should discuss usage with their doctor.
