Minoxidil 2% + Aminexil 1.5%

Minoxidil 2% + Aminexil 1.5% — Uses and Benefits

This composition is mainly used to treat hair thinning and hair loss on the scalp.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern hair loss)
• General hair thinning and reduced hair density
• Supporting hair regrowth when used consistently over months

HOW IT WORKS

• Minoxidil widens tiny blood vessels in the scalp, improving blood flow to hair follicles and prolonging the hair growth phase
• Aminexil helps prevent hardening (perifollicular fibrosis) of tissue around hair roots, which can restrict follicle function
• Together they support a healthier scalp environment for hair growth

WHAT IT IS NOT USED FOR

• Sudden patchy hair loss caused by autoimmune conditions (alopecia areata) without doctor guidance
• Hair loss due to nutritional deficiency, thyroid problems, or medication side effects without treating the underlying cause
• Hair loss on body areas other than the scalp
• Immediate or overnight results — it is not a quick fix

• Do not wash hair for a few hours after application, as advised by your doctor
