Minoxidil is a medication used to treat baldness in men and thinning hair in women. It promotes hair growth and prevents further hair loss. Minoxidil is usually applied to the scalp as a topical liquid and is used once or twice daily. When using, make sure your scalp is dry and avoid contact with eyes or other parts. Treatment effects may take several months to be seen, and continued use is required to maintain results. Some users may experience scalp irritation or allergic reactions and should stop use and seek medical advice immediately. In Hong Kong, minoxidil can be purchased at pharmacies, but it is recommended to consult a doctor or pharmacist before use to ensure safety and effectiveness.
How to use: Apply MINOXIDIL solution to dry scalp and gently massage scalp after each use to ensure even distribution of the drug. It does not need to be taken with food, but the scalp should be kept clean before and after use. Avoid contact with eyes and other mucous membranes. Avoid using other hair products such as gels or styling agents during use.
Dosage Guidelines: Adult patients use 1 ml of MINOXIDIL solution twice daily, 8 to 12 hours apart. The initial dose can be 1 ml. If there is no discomfort, the dose can be adjusted to 2 ml. For pediatric and adolescent patients, physician advice should be sought and dosage may vary. It should be used consistently as results may take several months to be seen. If you have any discomfort or questions, you should seek medical advice immediately.
