This is how it works to treat your alopecia (hair loss).

Expert advice FOR AGA Lotion

  • Wash your hands before and after application.
  • It should only be applied directly to the scalp. If Minoxidil accidentally comes in contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth, flush the area thoroughly with cool tap water.
  • Do not shampoo your hair or use a hairdryer for 4 hours after applying Minoxidil as it can reduce the effectiveness of the medicine.
  • During the first 2 weeks of application, your hair fall may increase. This is normal and is a sign that Minoxidil is working.
  • Take care that Minoxidil does not trickle down onto your face as it may cause undesirable facial hair growth.
