What It Is
Active ingredient: minoxidil 5% w/v, an FDA-approved topical solution formulated to treat male pattern hair loss specifically on the crown (vertex) of the scalp.
Marketed as ???extra strength,?? it offers greater efficacy compared to 2% formulations.
Purpose & Usage
Designed to reactivate hair follicles and stimulate regrowth, particularly in men with recent or moderate thinning.
Users typically apply 1 mL twice daily directly onto the thinning area using the dropper; continued use is required to maintain results.
Many users begin seeing some results by around 2 months, though up to 4 months may be needed for noticeable effects; regrowth generally isn???t sustained beyond 48 weeks unless treatment continues.
Inactive Ingredients
Common inactive components include:
Alcohol
Propylene glycol
Purified water
Others depending on formulation: butane, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), cetyl alcohol, citric acid monohydrate, isobutane, lactic acid, polysorbate-60, propane, stearyl alcohol
These serve as solvents, preservatives, emollients, pH buffers, propellants (in aerosol versions), emulsifiers, and texture agents.
Effectiveness & Expectations
The 5% solution yields better hair regrowth than 2% versions, especially in men aged 18??“49 with moderate vertex thinning.
Some product reviews rate it as one of the best budget hair-loss treatments, noting that six months of consistent twice-daily use can yield visible improvements.
Diligence is key??”stopping treatment usually leads to loss of regrown hair within months.
Warnings & Precautions
Not intended for women, as it???s not proven more effective than 2% and may cause unwanted facial hair growth.
Avoid use if hair loss is patchy, sudden, frontal, or if you lack family history of androgenic alopecia??”consult a doctor instead.
Stop and seek medical advice if you experience chest pain, rapid heartbeat, swelling of hands/feet, weight gain, scalp irritation, or no results after 4 months.
Temporary shedding??”initial increase in hair loss??”is possible in the first 2 weeks.
Storage: keep between 20??“25 ?°C (68??“77 ?°F), tightly closed.
Keep out of reach of children; if ingested, seek immediate medical help.
