Prolox-F Solution 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.

Prolox-F Solution 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 Prolox-F Solution 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 Prolox-F Solution 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 Prolox-F Solution does not trickle down onto your face as it may cause undesirable facial hair growth.
