Minoxidil 5% w/w topical gel
Treatment of androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss) in men; helps reduce hair fall and promote hair regrowth. Use only if hair loss is hereditary/pattern-type.
Minoxidil is a topical vasodilator that prolongs the anagen (growth) phase of hair follicles and increases follicle size. This can improve hair density and thickness over time with regular use.
For external use only. Apply a thin layer to clean, dry scalp in the affected area as directed by a doctor (commonly 1 mL twice daily for 5% minoxidil). Wash hands after application; allow to dry completely before using hair products, wearing caps/helmets, or going to bed. Do not apply on irritated/broken skin; avoid contact with eyes, face, and mucous membranes.
Common side effects of ZENOXIDIL 5% GEL may include:
Stop use and seek medical advice if chest pain, fast/irregular heartbeat, fainting, severe dizziness, shortness of breath, or swelling occurs. Not recommended in pregnancy/breastfeeding unless advised by a doctor. Avoid use on inflamed, infected, sunburned, or broken scalp. Use caution in patients with heart disease, low blood pressure, or those using antihypertensives. Hair shedding may increase initially (usually temporary). Continuous use is required to maintain results; benefits may take 3–6 months.
