Product introduction
Minscalp 10% Gel (30gm Each) is a medicine used to treat hair loss and promote hair regrowth. It increases the blood flow to the hair follicles, which helps to enlarge and revitalize shrunken hair follicles. This action prolongs the growth phase of the hair cycle, leading to increased hair density and coverage over time.
Apply Minscalp 10% Gel (30gm Each) to the affected areas of the scalp as directed by your doctor. Ensure that your scalp is dry before application. Massage into the scalp with your finger to spread the medicine evenly over the area and allow it to dry completely. Avoid washing your hair for at least four hours after applying the medicine to allow it to be fully absorbed. Adhere to the recommended dose, do not exceed the recommended dosage as it will not enhance hair growth and may increase the risk of side effects. Use it consistently and regularly to see improvements in hair growth.

In case of accidental contact with your eyes, mouth, or broken skin, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water. If you experience severe irritation, discontinue use and consult your doctor.
