Directions: Apply 1mL of 6% Minoxidil-Plus to moisten the areas of the scalp affected by MPB twice/day, preferably at least eight hours apart. The scalp can be dry or hydrated, but the scalp should not be wet to the degree of diluting or washing off the minoxidil/azelaic acid. Each bottle of 6% Minoxidil-Plus is accompanied with a medicine dropper calibrated at 1mL.
For patients who desire or need an even more potent hair growth regimen, 6% Minoxidil-Plus can be used in conjunction with Xandrox15-PLUS. Apply 1mL of 6% Minoxidil-Plus in the morning and 1mL of Xandrox15-PLUS at night. The applications should be at least 8 hours apart.
It is important to apply the topical 6% Minoxidil-Plus directly to your scalp, where the medicine will be most effective. In solution form, it is the alcohol that allows for the penetration of minoxidil and finasteride into the scalp, so massaging the scalp has no appreciable additional benefit. Even though the 6% Minoxidil-Plus may not be evenly distributed on the scalp, there is diffusion in the layers under the surface of the skin to allow for effective coverage. Although it is desirable to leave minoxidil and finasteride on the scalp all day before the next application, most of the absorption occurs within the first 1 hour. If you desire to swim, blow dry, or shampoo your hair after applying minoxidil, wait from 1½ hour to 2 hours before doing so.
When you use the dropper, place the tip of the dropper onto the scalp and squeeze the rubber bulb to release a small amount of 6% Minoxidil-Plus. Divide the total 1mL quantity into as many doses as are required to moisten/wet the scalp in all the areas affected by MPB. The fingertips can be used to spread the liquid within the desired areas or to restrict the spread to other areas. Wash hands thereafter. If you use a blow dryer, do so before the application of 6% Minoxidil-Plus. Otherwise, blow-drying will cause most of the alcohol in the 6% Minoxidil-Plus to evaporate, limiting the absorption of the medications.
Warnings:
Initial Shedding: Topical minoxidil can cause an initial mild increase in shedding of follicles that were going to shed within 100 days in any case. However, it's important to realize that the sustained use of topical minoxidil will result in an improvement in the number and quality of the hairs on your scalp.
Minoxidil allows hair that is already in the telogen phase to shed. Normally, the hair shaft sheds at the end of the telogen phase. Normally 10% of hairs in the scalp are in the telogen phase, but in areas affected by MPB, up to 20% of thinning, miniaturized follicles are in the telogen phase. This is why minoxidil induced shedding may appear so dramatic when it affects thinning hair. The hair shafts, which are shed, will be replaced at the end of the telogen phase with healthier hair. On the other hand, untreated MPB will result in progressive miniaturization of the hair follicles.
Tolerance:There are misconceptions about minoxidil and finasteride in regards to 'tolerance'. Minoxidil and finasteride will help to recruit atrophic follicles to grow thicker hair again for about two to three years. Beyond that time, they continue to support mature hair shafts, but do not stimulate appreciably more atrophic hair follicles to mature. But, because most patients do not see any significant continued improvement after a few years, they might assume that the minoxidil or the finasteride has caused a tolerance and is no longer working. If they are unfortunately convinced to stop minoxidil/finasteride treatment, the hair that they have regrown will shed again in 3-4 months.
Side Effects: Patients with any history of heart disease should not use 6% Minoxidil-Plus. Also patients who have a known adverse reaction to minoxidil or finasteride should avoid using 6% Minoxidil-Plus. Although rare, patients who are sensitive to minoxidil can experience a rapid heart rate, a drop in blood pressure and water retention. As a result, they may experience headaches, dizziness, chest pain and/or edema of the ankles. If that happens, the patients should discontinue any formulas containing minoxidil. In our experience, these side effects have occurred in less than 0.1% of patients.
Finasteride can cause a decrease in libido in 2% of patients and a smaller number report an "ache in the groin area". These negative side effects are reversible usually within two weeks of discontinuance of taking the finasteride. Even when patients continue to take the finasteride, the majority of the men will gradually regain their former libido and the side effects abate. When you are getting a physical examination or are having laboratory tests on your blood, inform your doctor that you are using finasteride. Finasteride will decrease the PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) level by approximately 50%. Assessing the PSA level is a screening test for possible prostate cancer.
There is no association between birth defects and impregnation by the father on finasteride treatment. Millions of doses of finasteride have been taken since it became available in the U.S. in 1996 and there has not been a single case of a reported birth defect.
Storage Instructions:
Keep at room temperatures and protect from direct sunlight. Because of the volatility of the ethyl alcohol, the bottle should be tightly capped when the solution is not being used. 6% Minoxidil-Plus is best kept at room temperatures.
Since the 6% Minoxidil-Plus is a highly saturated solution of minoxidil, there may be rare occasions when a precipitate will form in the bottle. If and when this happens, the capped bottle of 6% Minoxidil-Plus should be placed in water that has been heated to gently simmering temperatures and shaken vigorously. As long as the bottle of 6% Minoxidil-Plus is kept tightly capped, it can be kept in the heated water for prolonged periods, until all the minoxidil goes back into solution.
