Consumer Information
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT Minoxidil Topical Solution USP 2% Hair Regrowth Treatment UNSCENTED For Women Over 30 million American women experience hair thinning or hair loss, so you're not alone. Minoxidil topical solution 2% contains the only ingredient that is medically proven effective to help regrow hair in women. • Clinically Proven to Help Regrow Hair • Reactivates Hair Follicles To Stimulate Regrowth • Previously Available Only by Prescription SAVE THIS LEAFLET FOR FUTURE REFERENCE Please read this leaflet carefully. It will help you understand how to use minoxidil topical solution 2% and what to expect from its use. If you have any questions after reading this leaflet, or anytime while using minoxidil topical solution 2%, you should ask your health care professional or call us at 1-800-719-9260. What is minoxidil topical solution 2%? Minoxidil topical solution 2% is a colorless liquid medication for use only on the top of the scalp to help regrow hair. Who may use minoxidil topical solution 2%? Minoxidil topical solution 2% may be appropriate for you if you are an adult who is at least 18 years old and experiencing gradually thinning hair or gradual hair loss on the top of the head. The common hereditary thinning or hair loss process begins slowly and may become noticeable only after years of gradual loss. Minoxidil topical solution 2% is for general thinning of hair on the top of the scalp as shown below. Minoxidil topical solution 2% has been shown to regrow hair in women with the degrees of hair loss shown. If women have more hair loss than shown, minoxidil topical solution 2% may not work. Many of those experiencing hair loss have other family members with gradual thinning hair or hair loss. If there is no family history of gradual thinning or gradual hair loss, or hair loss is patchy, talk to your doctor . Who should NOT use minoxidil topical solution 2%? Minoxidil topical solution 2% will not prevent or improve hair loss related to pregnancy, the use of some prescription and non-prescription medications, certain severe nutritional problems (very low body iron; excessive vitamin A intake), the recently discontinued use of birth control pills, low thyroid states (hypothyroidism), chemotherapy, or diseases which cause scarring of the scalp. Also, minoxidil topical solution 2% will not improve hair loss due to: • damage from the use of hair care products which cause scarring or deep burns of the scalp. • hair grooming methods such as cornrowing or ponytails which require pulling the hair tightly back from the scalp. Do not use minoxidil topical solution 2% if hair loss is patchy as shown below. You should ask your doctor if you are unsure of the cause of your hair loss. Will minoxidil topical solution 2% work for me? The amount of hair regrowth is different for each person. Not everyone will respond to minoxidil topical solution 2%. The response to minoxidil topical solution 2% cannot be predicted. No one will be able to grow back all their hair. In clinical studies of mostly white women aged 18-45 years with mild to moderate degrees of hair loss, the following response to minoxidil topical solution 2% was reported: FEMALE RESPONSE TO MINOXIDIL TOPICAL SOLUTION 2% Percent reporting hair regrowth 19% of women reported moderate hair regrowth after using minoxidil topical solution 2% for 8 months (19% had moderate regrowth; 40% had minimal regrowth). This compares with 7% of women reporting moderate hair regrowth after using the placebo, the liquid without minoxidil in it, for 8 months (7% had moderate regrowth; 33% had minimal regrowth). What Minimal, Moderate and Dense Hair Regrowth Will Mean For You Number of Hairs Hair Density Minimal Some new hairs are seen, but not enough to cover thinning areas. Hairs in thinning areas do not grow as closely together as hairs on the rest of the head. Moderate New hairs cover some or all of thinning areas. Hairs in the thinning areas grow more closely together, but are not as close together as hairs on the rest of the head. Dense New hairs cover, or almost completely cover, thinning areas. Hairs in thinning areas grow as closely together as hairs on the rest of the head. Can minoxidil topical solution 2% be used to prevent hair loss? We do not know if minoxidil topical solution 2% will prevent hair loss. How soon can I expect results from using minoxidil topical solution 2%? Since normal hair usually grows only 1/2 to 1 inch per month, hair regrowth with minoxidil topical solution 2% also takes time. Generally new hair growth is slow for a minoxidil topical solution 2% user. Continued use of 2 times a day for at least 4 months is usually needed before you notice hair regrowth. If you do not see hair regrowth in 4 months, stop using minoxidil topical solution 2% and see your doctor. When you first begin to use minoxidil topical solution 2%, your hair loss may continue for up to 2 weeks. This hair loss is temporary. If you continue to lose hair after two weeks, see your doctor. If minoxidil topical solution 2% is working, what will the hair look like? At first, hair growth may be soft, downy, colorless hairs. After further use, the new hairs should be the same color and thickness as the other hairs on your scalp. How long do I need to use minoxidil topical solution 2%? If you respond to minoxidil topical solution 2%, you will need to use it 2 times a day to keep and continue the hair regrowth. Up to 8 months of usage may be needed to see your best results from minoxidil topical solution 2%. What happens if I completely stop using minoxidil topical solution 2%? Will I keep the new hair? Continuous use of minoxidil topical solution 2% is needed to maintain hair regrowth. If you stop using minoxidil topical solution 2%, the normal hair loss process will start again. You will probably lose your newly regrown hair in three to four months. What is the dosage of minoxidil topical solution 2%? You should apply a dose (1 mL) of minoxidil topical solution 2% directly onto the scalp in the hair loss area TWO TIMES A DAY ; for example, once in the morning and once at night. Each bottle should last about one month, if used as directed. Please refer to the "Directions for Use" section of this leaflet. What if I miss a dose or forget to use minoxidil topical solution 2%? If you miss one or two daily doses of minoxidil topical solution 2%, just continue with your next dose. You should not make up for missed doses. Can I use minoxidil topical solution 2% more than two times a day? Will it work faster, better? No. Minoxidil topical solution 2% will not work faster or better if used more than two times a day. Studies have been carefully conducted to determine the correct amount of minoxidil topical solution 2% needed to get the best results. More frequent use or larger doses have not been shown to speed up hair growth and may increase your chances of side effects. What are the most common side effects with minoxidil topical solution 2%? The most common side effects are itching and other skin irritations of the treated area of the scalp. Minoxidil topical solution 2% contains alcohol, which would cause burning or irritation of the eyes or sensitive skin areas. If minoxidil topical solution 2% accidentally gets into these areas, rinse with large amounts of cool tap water. Contact your doctor if irritation persists. What kind of shampoo should I use with minoxidil topical solution 2%? If you wash your scalp before applying minoxidil topical solution 2%, use a mild shampoo. Can I use hair sprays, mousses, conditioners, gels, etc.? Yes. There is no need to change your usual hair care routine when using minoxidil topical solution 2%. However, you should apply minoxidil topical solution 2% first and wait for it to dry before applying your styling aids. Can I have my hair colored or permed or use hair relaxers while using minoxidil topical solution 2%? Yes. We have no information that these treatments change the effect of mino...
