How it works
Pandil F Lotion is a combination of two medicines: Minoxidil and Finasteride. Minoxidil is a vasodilator which widens the blood vessels and provides better blood flow to the hair follicles. Finasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor which blocks the production of a male hormone in the scalp that stops hair growth thereby reversing the balding process and preventing further hair loss.
Quick Tips
Pandil F Lotion has been prescribed for the treatment of hair loss in men. Wash your hands before and after application. It should only be applied directly to the scalp area. If Pandil F Lotion accidentally comes in contact with your eyes, nose or mouth, flush the area thoroughly with cool tap water. Do not shampoo your hair for 4 hours after applying Pandil F Lotion or use a hairdryer as it can reduce the effectiveness of the medicine. During the first 2 weeks of application, your hair fall may increase. This is normal and is a sign that medicine is working. Take care that Pandil F Lotion does not trickle down onto your face as it may cause undesirable facial hair growth.
Frequently asked questions
Can Pandil F Lotion be used by female patients?
Pandil F Lotion should only be used in females under the guidance of a doctor. The FDA guidelines recommend that women can use minoxidil 2% to treat hair loss, but not the combination of minoxidil and finasteride found in Pandil F Lotion.
Can I blow-dry my hair after applying Pandil F Lotion?
It is recommended to wait for at least 4 hours before washing or blow-drying your hair after applying Pandil F Lotion. This allows the medicine to be most effective. However, you can use a blow dryer once you have washed your hair.
What happens if I take more than the recommended dose of Pandil F Lotion?
Taking a higher dose of Pandil F Lotion will not make it more effective and may cause unwanted side effects due to over-absorption into the body. If you experience increased severity of symptoms, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
How can I tell if Pandil F Lotion is working for me?
You may notice a decrease in hair loss and new hair growth that is soft and lighter in color than the rest of your hair. Over time, this new hair will blend in with the rest of your hair.
How should I store and dispose of Pandil F Lotion?
Store Pandil F Lotion in its original container, tightly closed, according to the instructions on the pack or label. Dispose of any unused medicine, making sure it is not accessible to children, pets, or other individuals.
