Mode of Action
How Does It Work?

Directions for Use
- Use Brintop F 5% Topical solution only when the scalp or the hair is dry. There is no need to shampoo the hair before or after each application.

- Now use your fingertip and spread the solution evenly over the area.
- Do not squeeze the whole 1 ml at a time.
- You may apply small amounts and apply thoroughly using the fingertips.
