Uses
Hair4U 5% Topical Solution (Minoxidil/Aminexil) is used for treating male pattern baldness (MPB). It combines two active ingredients, both of which are used to help regrow the hair and stop further hair loss. The first ingredient, minoxidil, is a type of vasodilator medicine which was originally used in tablet form for treating high blood pressure. However, when applied to the scalp in the form of a solution, it was shown to stimulate hair regrowth and prevent further shedding of hair.
This solution also contains aminexil, which is a chemical similar to minoxidil. It has also been used to increase the growth of hair. As a result of this, many people have used this combination formula to treat baldness, as the combination of ingredients may boost its effectiveness. Men whose hair has only started to fall out or who have a small bald patch are considered to be the most likely to notice positive results when using this product.
Dosage and Administration
Your doctor will provide you with advice on how to properly use Hair4U 5% Topical Solution (Minoxidil/Aminexil) when prescribing it to you. In the majority of cases, those undergoing treatment for male pattern hair loss will be instructed by their doctor to apply the solution to the dry scalp, twice per day. Most men will need 3 months (or more) of treatment before any results appear.
It is possible that an increase in shedding may occur during the initial treatment period, however, leading doctors frequently point out that this is a positive indicator, and shows that a new cycle of hair growth is beginning. Most people will experience regrowth after this shedding phase. Patients should note that continued treatment with this product will be needed in order to maintain any newly grown hair. Stopping treatment usually results in any newly grown hair being lost.
Side effects
Treating baldness with Hair4U 5% Topical Solution (Minoxidil/Aminexil) might sometimes result in side effects, including:
Serious side effects are considered to be uncommon. You must stop using this product and see your doctor immediately if you experience fainting, dizziness, irregular heartbeats or any other serious symptoms.
Precautions
This medication is only for topical application to the scalp, and should never be consumed orally. If accidental ingestion occurs, immediate medical treatment will be required.
If you are going to wash your hair with shampoo, ensure that you do this before applying the solution. You should also dry your hair prior to application. Otherwise, it is possible that the solution will be diluted, which may result in reduced effectiveness.
Seek immediate emergency medical attention if you suffer an allergic reaction. Symptoms to watch for, which may be indicative of a reaction, include skin rashes, hives, swelling of the face or limbs, trouble breathing, and trouble swallowing.
Always use Hair4U 5% Topical Solution (Minoxidil/Aminexil) as you have been prescribed by your doctor. Never self-medicate or change your dosage without first consulting your doctor. The correct dosage can vary depending on your health, medical history, and the severity of the condition being treated.
