Warnings and precautions
This is a prescription-only medicine. Take it exactly as your doctor has directed, for the period directed. Do not share it with anyone else, even if their symptoms seem the same. Tell your doctor about every other medicine, supplement and herbal product you take. Report any unexpected or severe symptom to your doctor rather than stopping on your own. Topical minoxidil causes a burst of shedding in the first two to eight weeks. This is the old hair making way for new — it is expected, not a failure. Results take three to six months, and stop when you stop. This is a continuing treatment, not a cure. Finasteride must not be handled or taken by anyone who is pregnant or could become pregnant — it causes birth defects. Do not let a pregnant person handle broken or crushed tablets. Apply topical treatments to a dry scalp, not to hair, and wash your hands afterwards. Tell your doctor about any chest pain, dizziness, rapid heartbeat or sudden weight gain with minoxidil.
Do not take Alphacept-D8 if
Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Your doctor will confirm this medicine is suitable for you. Not for use on inflamed, broken or sunburnt scalp.
Interactions with other medicines
Give your doctor and pharmacist a full list of everything you take. Avoid applying other scalp products at the same time of day unless advised.
How to store Alphacept-D8 Tablet
Store at room temperature (below 25°C), protected from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
Expert advice for Alphacept-D8 Tablet
Take it at the same time each day and complete the course. Keep your follow-up appointments and any monitoring blood tests. Be consistent — irregular use gives no result. Have persistent or patchy hair loss assessed; thyroid disease, iron deficiency and other causes are treatable.
