Frequently asked questions
Can Minichek F Solution be used in females?
No, Minichek F Solution is not for use in females. Minichek F Solution contains minoxidil and finasteride, both of which are specifically formulated and regulated for male use. As per FDA guidelines, women can only use a 2% minoxidil solution to treat hair loss, and using the combination of these medications in women is inappropriate without direct guidance from a healthcare professional.
Can I blow-dry my hair after applying Minichek F Solution?
No, you should not blow-dry your hair immediately after applying Minichek F Solution. After washing your hair with water, you can use a blow dryer, but wait at least four hours before drying or blowing your hair to allow the medicine to settle properly. This will help ensure its effectiveness.
Will taking a higher than the recommended dose of Minichek F Solution be more effective?
No, exceeding the recommended dosage of Minichek F Solution will not increase its effectiveness. Additionally, it can lead to an over-absorption of the medication into your system and potentially cause unwanted side effects. If you're experiencing increased symptoms, please consult your doctor for a re-evaluation.
