Medicine information
Uses & overview
MINOXIHAIR GEL 5% by Steris Healthcare brings the proven efficacy of 5% Minoxidil into a non-greasy, fast-absorbing gel matrix. Designed for superior scalp adherence and targeted application, this localized formulation ensures extended contact with hair follicles without the messy dripping or severe scalp dryness frequently associated with liquid alcohol formulations. Key Ingredients & Clinical Benefits: Minoxidil Gel (5% w/w): A clinically proven potassium channel opener and peripheral vasodilator. It directly acts on hair follicles to reverse follicular miniaturization, reactivate dormant hair roots, and prolong the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle. Key Uses & Clinical Benefits: Stimulates Hair Regrowth: Effectively reactivates miniaturized and dormant hair follicles to produce thicker, longer, and stronger terminal hair strands. Targeted Non-Drip Gel Formula: Delivers precise application to thinning areas (vertex, crown, and hairline) with minimal run-off or skin contact outside target zones. Improves Scalp Microcirculation: Vasodilating action enhances oxygen, nutrient, and blood supply directly to the hair roots. Combats Pattern Baldness: Ideal for long-term management of androgenetic alopecia and general hair density restoration. Reduced Alcohol Irritation: The gel base offers smooth, hydrating application with reduced scaling and scalp irritation compared to conventional topical solutions.
How to use
Ensure your scalp and hair are completely clean and dry before application. Apply a thin layer of MINOXIHAIR GEL 5% (approximately 1 gram or as directed) directly onto the affected scalp area twice daily (morning and night). Gently massage with fingertips to facilitate absorption. Wash hands thoroughly with soap immediately after application. Allow the gel to dry completely for at least 2–4 hours before wearing hats, applying styling products, or going to bed.
