Uses of Zenoxidil 5% Gel

How Zenoxidil 5% Gel works
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.
How to take Zenoxidil 5% Gel
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.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.
If you take too much
An overdose of this medicine can cause a fall in blood pressure and a racing heart when far too much is applied to the skin. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
