How to use
Apply directly to the dry scalp in the affected area twice daily, usually morning and evening. Use 1 ml per application. Gently massage into the scalp with fingers. Wash hands thoroughly after application. Allow the solution to dry completely before styling hair or lying down. Do not wash hair for at least 4 hours after application. Always follow your doctor's or pharmacist's instructions regarding dosage and duration.
How it works
Minoxidil works by widening blood vessels and opening potassium channels in the scalp. This increases blood flow to hair follicles, delivering more oxygen and nutrients. It prolongs the growth phase of hair follicles and stimulates shrunken follicles to produce thicker, longer hair strands, thereby promoting hair regrowth and reducing hair loss.

Alcohol: No direct interaction, but alcohol on scalp may increase irritation. Driving: Does not impair ability to drive. Scalp conditions: Avoid using on inflamed, infected, or sunburned scalp.
