Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or worsen after using it for 4 to 6 months.

How it works
Arodil Forte Lotion is a potassium channel opener. Its vasodilation action expands the blood vessels. Therefore, when it is applied to the scalp, it helps to increase blood flow. This increased blood flow provides more nutrition and oxygen to the hair follicles, which prevents hair cell death and also enhances new hair growth.
Quick Tips
Wash your hands before and after application. Do not shampoo your hair or use a hairdryer for 4 hours after applying Arodil Forte Lotion as it can reduce the effectiveness of the medicine. Take care that Arodil Forte Lotion does not trickle down onto your face as it may cause undesirable facial hair growth. During the first 2 weeks of application, your hair fall may increase. This is normal and is a sign that Arodil Forte Lotion is working.
