Regaine 2 % Minoxidil Solution is a topical medication used to treat hereditary hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) in men and women aged between 18 and 65 years. It helps reduce hair loss and promotes regrowth, as it contains minoxidil, which improves blood flow to the hair follicles on the scalp and stimulates hair growth.

Benefits and Uses of regaine 2 minoxidil solution

• Regaine 2% Minoxidil Solution is specifically formulated for men and women suffering from hereditary hair loss, which often appears as thinning along the hair parting line.
• Regaine spray features an effective formula that helps reduce hair thinning, stimulates new hair growth, and slows hereditary hair loss.
• It contains minoxidil, which penetrates the scalp to reach the roots:
  • Reactivates dormant follicles.
  • Enhances blood flow around them.
  • Shifts hair from the resting phase to the growth phase.
  • Prolongs the hair growth cycle.

Note: Temporary hair shedding may occur during the first few weeks of use, which is normal and indicates the start of a new growth cycle. If shedding continues for more than two weeks, it’s recommended to stop use and consult a doctor.

How to Use Regaine 2 % Minoxidil 

• For external use only on the scalp.
• Do not apply to other areas of the body.
• Use twice daily (morning and evening).
• Ensure hair and scalp are completely dry before application.
• Apply 1 ml of the solution using the provided applicator to the affected scalp areas.
• Gently massage it in, then wash hands thoroughly.
• Wash hands before and after use. If the solution comes into contact with other skin areas, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Leave at least 12 hours between each dose, and do not exceed two doses per day (2 ml total).
• Consistent daily use is essential for effective results.
• Use for at least 4 months (twice daily) to notice initial results.
• Hair may initially grow soft and fine, then thicken over time.
• Continuous use is required to maintain results; if discontinued, hair loss may resume within 3 to 4 months.
• If no improvement is observed after 8 months, discontinue treatment.

Note: Do not exceed the recommended dose. Doing so will not speed up hair growth and may increase the risk of side effects.
