How does Minoxidil treat hair loss?
Minoxidil 10mg Tablets (60 tablets) by Kachhela : It is not known exactly how Minoxidil works to stimulate hair growth, but it may be that the dilation of blood vessels in the scalp caused by application of the solution improves the function of hair follicles and promote the growth of new hair. Minoxidil is usually used for at least four months before hair regrowth can be seen, so results aren’t immediate. This is because hair takes a while to grow back. Everyone has their own rate of hair growth and the treatment must be used consistently for the best chance of seeing results Minoxidil 10mg Tablets (60 tablets) . The first hair regrowth will probably feel fine and soft, but should gain the same appearance and thickness of the rest of your hair as treatment continues. If no hair regrowth is seen after using the product for six months, you should stop using it. You may need to see your doctor to talk about what may be causing your hair loss.How effective is it?
In men Two studies into Regaine for men, using a 5% solution of minoxidil, were conducted in Germany. Men in both studies applied the solution twice a day. One year-long study of 984 men with hereditary hair loss found the product to be very effective in 15.9% and effective in 47.8% of patients for stimulating hair growth. The second study tested a 5% solution of minoxidil on 743 men with male hereditary hair loss. The study lasted for four months. It was rated by 7.5% of the men as very effective and 55% of the men as effective at stimulating hair growth. 74.2% of men also reported an increase in hair thickness. In women Women with female pattern hair loss (also known as androgenetic alopecia) can use Regaine for women, a Minoxidil solution at a 2% concentration. A 32-week study into the effectiveness of a 2% Minoxidil solution in treating female pattern hair loss reported positive results. 60% of the patients in the 2% minoxidil group reported new hair growth compared with 40% of the patients in the placebo group.Can men use Minoxidil?
Minoxidil can be used by men with male pattern baldness. It is suitable for men over the age of 18 who are experiencing hair loss and may stop hair loss and/or stimulate the growth of new hairs. It must be used twice a day for at least four months for any results to be seen. If no results are seen after six months of continuous treatment, you should stop using Minoxidil.Is Minoxidil available for women?
Minoxidil solution at a 2% concentration is available for women with female pattern hair loss. This product is lower than in strength than the 5% solution recommended for men with hair loss. The reason for this is because a higher concentration of Minoxidil can also cause unwanted hair growth on other areas of the face and body in women. It is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or for women planning on becoming pregnant.Does Minoxidil cause side effects?

Dosage
Minoxidil is available in 2.5mg, 5mg and 10mg tablets. We use the Loniten brand (Pfizer Ltd). A common starting dose is 0.625mg per day for women and 1.25mg per day for men. You should get a tablet cutter from your pharmacy and cut a 2.5mg tablet into quarters or halves to get this dose. The optimum dose for hair loss is not entirely clear. It may be in the region of 0.625mg to 2.5 mg daily. For men, a slightly higher dose may sometimes be required. You may be asked to take the medication daily or every other day. Doses of minoxidil for hair loss are considered ‘low dose’. This is because the doses used for hair loss are a lot lower than the doses which are used for conditions such as hypertension. The doses used for hypertension are 10-40mg per day.Visit our latest Products:
