04How To Use
Use this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use.
05How It Works
Androanagen Solution is a combination of two hair growth promoters: Minoxidil and Aminexil. Minoxidil is a vasodilator, meaning it widens the blood vessels and provides better blood flow to the hair follicles. This prevents hair loss and stimulates re-growth resulting in longer, thicker and increased numbers of hair. Aminexil suppresses an enzyme which causes buildup of a protein (collagen) around the hair follicles leading to hair loss.
06What If You Miss A Dose?
If you miss a dose of Androanagen Solution, apply it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
07Benefits
In Hair loss
Androanagen Solution is a medicine used to treat common hereditary hair loss. It prevents further hair loss and helps hair to regrow. It works by increasing blood flow to the hair follicles on your scalp, which prevents hair cell death and also enhances new hair growth. It is most effective for baldness or thinning at the top of the scalp but less effective at the front or for receding hairline. Benefits are less likely if you have been bald for many years or have a large area of hair loss. Androanagen Solution is not suitable for sudden or unexplained hair loss. It is considered as a safe medicine. However, hair that has regrown may disappear after a few months. Regrowth of hair can be beneficial to your mood, self-esteem as well as your appearance, but you need to use it regularly to get the benefits.
08Side Effects
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Itching

10Drug Tips
Androanagen Solution is used to increase hair growth and prevent further hair loss.
Do not shampoo your hair or use a hairdryer for 4 hours after applying Androanagen Solution as it can reduce the effectiveness of the medicine.
Take care that Androanagen Solution does not trickle down onto your face as it may cause undesirable facial hair growth.
Your hair growth may start to improve within a few months, although it can take up to a year or so for you to notice the full benefit. You will need to continue treatment to maintain this effect.
During the first 2 weeks of application, your hair fall may increase. This is normal and is a sign that Androanagen Solution is working.
Along with taking Androanagen Solution, take a healthy diet, sleep for a minimum of 6-7 hours at night and reduce stress levels in order to prevent hair loss.
