Grow Hair

2% Scalp Solution · Minoxidil

Indications

Grow Hair topical solution is indicated for the treatment of-

Male androgenetic alopecia (male pattern hair loss) on the top of the scalp (vertex).

Female androgenetic alopecia (female pattern hair loss) on the top of the scalp.

Pharmacology

Minoxidil topical solution has been shown to stimulate hair growth in males with androgenetic alopecia. The basic change in androgenetic alopecia is the conversion of terminal, non-vellus hair to vellus hair, i.e., hair which is thinner, shorter and less pigmented. Although the exact mechanism of action of Minoxidil in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia is not known, there may be more than one mechanism by which Minoxidil topical solution stimulates hair growth; they include:

vasodilation of the micro circulation around the hair follicles which may stimulate hair growth;

direct stimulation of the hair follicle cells to enter into a proliferative phase;

resting phase (telogen); follicles being stimulated to pass into growth phase (anagen) follicles.

Dosage and administration

Minoxidil 2% Solution : A total dose of 1 mL (7 sprays) Minoxidil topical 2% solution (20 mg Minoxidil) should be applied twice per day to the scalp, beginning at the center of the affected area. This dose should be used regardless of the size of the affected area. The total daily dose should not exceed 2 mL (40 mg Minoxidil). Suitable for men and women use. Minoxidil Topical 5% Solution : Apply 1 mL (7 sprays) 2 times a day directly onto the scalp in the hair loss area. It should be used for men only.

Interactions

Grow Hair topical solution should not be used along with other topical agents known to alter the stratum corneum barrier such as tretinoin or dithranol, due to the enhanced absorption of Grow Hair. Although there is no clinical evidence, there exists the theoretical possibility of absorbed Grow Hair potentiating orthostatic hypotension caused by peripheral vasodilators.
