How it works
Minscalp 10% Gel (30gm Each) is a potassium channel opener. Its vasodilation action expands the blood vessels to promote blood flow, thereby decreasing blood pressure to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). The topical application of Minoxidil on your scalp helps in increasing blood flow through the vasodilation process. This increased blood flow provides more nutrition and oxygen to the hair follicle, 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 for 4 hours after applying Minscalp 10% Gel (30gm Each) or use hairdryer as it can reduce the effectiveness of the medicine. Take care that Minscalp 10% Gel (30gm Each) does not trickle down onto your face as it may cause undesirable facial hair growth.
