Molecule Description

Minoxidil+Absolute Alcohol is used to treat hair loss. It contains minoxidil, an active ingredient that widens the blood vessels and stimulates hair growth on the scalp. When applied to the scalp, Minoxidil+Absolute Alcohol acts as a vasodilator, promoting increased blood flow by widening blood vessels. This helps provide more nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicles, preventing hair cell death and promoting new hair growth, effectively treating alopecia. Minoxidil+Absolute Alcohol should only be used directly on the scalp in the quantities and directions specified on the label or by your doctor. Use it on a dry scalp. Using more than suggested will not result in faster hair growth and may raise the risk of adverse effects. This medicine must be used constantly to maintain hair growth. It may take a few months before you see results. Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, or mouth. If it gets into any of these, immediately wash with water. Do not use it during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you have heart disease or high blood pressure, consult with your doctor before using it.
