Other General Warnings

• You have a heart condition, high or low blood pressure, or take blood pressure medication.
• You develop chest pain, a fast or irregular heartbeat, breathlessness, sudden weight gain, or swelling of the hands, ankles or feet.
• The scalp is broken, inflamed, infected, sunburnt or shaved.
• Hair loss is sudden, patchy, or associated with scalp symptoms, as it needs a diagnosis.
• You notice unwanted hair growth on the face or elsewhere.
• You use any other preparation on the scalp.
• You notice low mood, depression, or thoughts of self-harm. Stop and tell your doctor.
• You notice a breast lump, breast pain, or nipple discharge.
• You are due a PSA blood test, as finasteride can lower the result. Tell the doctor arranging it.

• Use Tinfal F Skin Solution only when the scalp or the hair is dry. You do not need to shampoo your hair before or after each application.
• Use the applicator to fill 1 ml of solution, then place it over the thinning area of your scalp and squeeze the bulb.
• Part your hair and apply the solution directly to the thinning area, then gently spread it over the area with a fingertip.
• Do not squeeze the full 1 ml at once.
• Use the amount your doctor has told you to, and do not apply more in the hope of a faster result.
• Let it dry fully before lying down, and cover your head.
• Wash your hands after application.
• Avoid the eyes, the inside of the nose, and the mouth. If it gets into the eyes, rinse them with plenty of cool water.
• Keep using it for as long as your doctor advises. Stopping reverses the benefit over a few months.
• Ensure it does not trickle onto your face, as it can cause unwanted facial hair growth.
• You do not need to discontinue regular hair baths (with mild shampoo) or hair dyeing while using this medicine.

• Store in a cool, dry place.
• Keep it away from the reach of children and pets.
• Keep the bottle tightly closed and upright.
• It contains alcohol, so keep it away from flames and do not smoke while using it.
• Keep it out of the sight and reach of children.
• Do not use it after the expiry date printed on the pack.

• Apply only on a clean, completely dry scalp.
• Use 1 ml twice daily; do not exceed 2 ml per day.

• Avoid using a hairdryer immediately after application.
• Do not cover the scalp with caps or lie down until fully dry.
• Wash your hands thoroughly after use.
• Maintain a 12-hour gap between two applications.
• Do not apply on broken, irritated, or infected scalp.
• Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.
• Use consistently for at least 3–6 months for visible results.
• Do not stop abruptly without consulting your doctor.
• Not recommended for women, children, or individuals over 65.
• Expect months, not weeks, before you see a difference, and some extra shedding early on as resting hairs make way for new growth.
• The benefit lasts only as long as you keep using it. Discuss a plan to stop with your doctor.
• It contains alcohol and is flammable.
• See your doctor if hair loss is sudden, patchy, or comes with scalp symptoms, as that needs a different assessment.
