About Minoxidil Topical Solution 10% W-V USP

Minoxidil Topical Solution (10%), branded as MINOXIHAIR 10%, is a potent formulation designed to treat hair loss and promote hair regrowth. This topical solution is intended for individuals experiencing significant hair thinning or male pattern baldness. With a higher concentration than the commonly available 2% and 5% solutions, MINOXIHAIR 10% offers a more aggressive approach to tackling hair loss.

What is Minoxidil Topical Solution (10%)?

Minoxidil is an antihypertensive vasodilator medication, but its topical application is primarily for treating hair loss. The 10% solution is a higher strength formulation intended for those who have not achieved desired results with lower concentrations. MINOXIHAIR 10% is a clear, odorless liquid applied directly to the scalp to stimulate hair follicles and enhance hair growth.

How Does It Work?

Minoxidil works by stimulating blood flow to the hair follicles, which can prolong the growth phase of hair and revitalize shrunken hair follicles. This process encourages thicker, stronger hair strands to develop.

Mechanism of Action

• Vasodilation: Minoxidil dilates blood vessels in the scalp, improving blood flow to hair follicles.
• Follicle Stimulation: Enhanced blood flow delivers more oxygen and nutrients, stimulating dormant follicles.
• Growth Phase Prolongation: The solution prolongs the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle, resulting in longer and denser hair growth.

Uses of MINOXIHAIR 10%

MINOXIHAIR 10% is used to treat several hair loss conditions:

• Male Pattern Baldness: Effective for men experiencing hair thinning on the crown and frontal areas.
• Female Hair Thinning: Can be used by women under medical supervision to treat diffuse hair thinning.
• Alopecia Areata: May be recommended for individuals with patchy hair loss due to this autoimmune condition.

Application Instructions

• Clean and Dry Scalp: Ensure the scalp is clean and dry before application.
• Apply Solution: Use the dropper to apply 1 ml of the solution to the affected areas of the scalp.
• Massage Gently: Lightly massage the solution into the scalp to ensure even distribution.
• Twice Daily: Apply the solution twice a day, preferably in the morning and at night.
