Quick summary

Type of medicine

Topical vasodilator that stimulates blood circulation in the scalp and promotes hair follicle growth.

Works by

Minoxidil works by stimulating blood circulation in the scalp and prolonging the hair growth (anagen) phase. This helps promote hair regrowth and slows hair loss associated with androgenetic alopecia.

Active ingredient

Minoxidil

Effective within

Hair growth is a slow process. Stabilization of hair loss may occur earlier, but visible new growth typically takes 4 months of consistent twice-daily use. Maximum effect is usually seen after 1 year.

Generic?

Yes

Side effects

Headache, skin irritation (dryness, itching, redness, or flaking at the application site), unwanted hair growth on other parts of the body (if the lotion comes into contact with them).

Medication details

Description

Minoxidil 50mg/ml (5%) is a clinically proven topical treatment for hereditary hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). It works by widening the blood vessels in the scalp, which improves nutrient delivery to hair follicles. This revitalizes shrunken follicles, prolongs the active growth phase of the hair cycle, and stimulates regrowth.

This extra-strength formula is primarily recommended for men experiencing thinning hair at the crown of the scalp. Regular use can stabilize hair loss and, in many cases, promote the growth of thicker, fuller hair.

Ingredients

Minoxidil, propylene glycol, ethanol, purified water.

Side effects

Scalp irritation, redness, dryness, or mild itching.
Sometimes unwanted hair growth on other areas, or temporary hair shedding at the start of treatment.
Stop use in case of an allergic reaction or persistent inflammation.

Warnings

For external use only.
Do not apply to irritated, inflamed, or damaged skin.
Avoid contact with the eyes, face, and mucous membranes.
Do not use in women or in people under 18 or over 65 years of age.
Stop treatment if you experience severe redness, significant itching, pain, or swelling of the scalp.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do I need to apply it?

You must apply it twice a day, every day. Applying it more often or using more than 1 ml does not improve results and increases the risk of side effects. Consistency is more important than quantity.

Is this product suitable for women?

Generally, the 50mg/ml (5%) strength is recommended for men. Women are usually advised to use the 20mg/ml (2%) strength, as the higher concentration carries a higher risk of unwanted facial hair growth (hypertrichosis) in women. Consult a doctor if you are a woman considering the 5% strength.

Why does it look like I am losing more hair when I start?

This is a known phenomenon called "shedding." It often happens in the first 2 to 6 weeks. The medication stimulates hair follicles to shift from the resting phase to the growth phase, pushing out old, weak hairs to make room for new, thicker ones. This is usually a sign the treatment is working.

What happens if I stop using Minoxidil?

If you stop treatment, the positive effects will disappear. The hair regrowth you gained will likely be lost within 3 to 4 months, and the natural balding process will resume. To maintain results, continuous use is required.

Can I use hair gel or hairspray while using this lotion?

Yes, but you should apply the Minoxidil first. Allow the lotion to dry completely (which may take some time) before applying any styling products like gel, wax, or hairspray.
