Introduction

Hair loss is a common concern affecting both men and women due to genetics, hormonal changes, stress, or medical conditions. MINOXIHAIR 5% is a topical solution containing Minoxidil 5% w/v, clinically proven to promote hair regrowth and prevent further hair loss. This formulation is widely used for androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness) and provides an effective solution to improve hair density and scalp health.

Composition

Each 1 mL of MINOXIHAIR 5% solution contains:

• Minoxidil – 5% w/v

Excipients: Purified water, alcohol, propylene glycol, and other stabilizers to ensure optimal absorption and efficacy.

Mechanism of Action

• Vasodilation: Minoxidil widens blood vessels in the scalp, increasing blood flow to hair follicles.

• Follicular stimulation: Promotes the growth phase (anagen phase) of hair follicles.

• Prevents miniaturization: Slows down the shrinkage of hair follicles that leads to thinning.

This combination of actions strengthens existing hair and promotes new hair growth over time.

Uses of MINOXIHAIR 5%

• Male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) – helps regrow hair on the crown and vertex

• Female pattern hair loss – improves hair density and reduces thinning

• Other hair thinning conditions – as recommended by a dermatologist

Note: Results may take 3–6 months with consistent use.

  • Ensure the scalp is clean and dry

  • Apply directly using the dropper or spray
