Minoxidil 12.5% Topical Solution is a liquid formulation specifically designed for external application to the skin. It is primarily used as a treatment for male and female pattern baldness, as well as alopecia areata. While it is not a cure for baldness, minoxidil can significantly slow or halt hair loss and stimulate hair regrowth when used consistently.

The solution should be applied twice daily to the affected area. It's important to understand that results may not be immediately visible, and it may take up to 4 months of consistent use to see noticeable changes. If the use of minoxidil is discontinued, hair loss is likely to resume.

Before starting treatment with Minoxidil 12.5% Topical Solution, it is crucial to discuss any other medications you are currently taking with your healthcare provider. This is because minoxidil can interact with certain medications, particularly those used to manage blood pressure.

Some users may experience skin irritation as a side effect of minoxidil. It is therefore essential to use the medication as directed and to immediately contact your healthcare provider if you experience any adverse reactions.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Minoxidil 12.5% Topical Solution is a liquid formulation designed for external application to the skin. This medication is primarily used to treat hair loss and alopecia, working by increasing the blood flow to the scalp to stimulate hair growth.

In addition to treating hair loss, Minoxidil 12.5% Topical Solution is also used to manage hypertension, or high blood pressure.
