Minoxidil Bio-H-Tin Pharma 50mg/ml solution, 3 × 60ml, Dr. Pfleger Arzneimittel GmbH
Indication
The medicine contains the active ingredient minoxidil.
It prevents hereditary hair loss in men and stimulates hair growth. It also promotes the regrowth of new hair in already thinned or bald areas of the scalp and strengthens any remaining downy hair.
After application, the medicine penetrates the scalp and reaches the hair roots. The mechanism by which it stimulates hair growth has not yet been clarified.
But it takes at least four months before you can see any success. If hair roots are still present, fine, light downy hairs can grow back, which become longer, denser and darker over time. How quickly hair growth begins and how much hair grows back varies depending on the patient. Large bald patches or hair loss that has existed for more than 10 years respond less well to the medication.
The medicine is to be used in male adults aged 18 to 65 years.
Contraindication
The medicine must not be used
if you are allergic to minoxidil or any of the other ingredients of this medicine.
in women, due to occasional evidence of cosmetically disturbing reversible facial hair growth during treatment.
if you use other topical (topical, external) medicines on the scalp at the same time.
if you suffer from sudden or uneven hair loss.
Dosage
Always use this medicine exactly as described or exactly as discussed with your doctor or pharmacist. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.
The recommended dose is:
Distribute 1 milliliter (ml) each morning and evening to the thinned or bald areas of the scalp.
The medicine can be distributed very well – 1 ml is enough for large areas. Under no circumstances should you use any more.
Duration of application
If you use the product regularly twice a day, you should see new hair after about four months. To maintain the effect, it is recommended to continue using twice daily. You will not achieve better results if you use the product in larger quantities or more often than twice a day. There is sufficient clinical experience regarding a possible therapeutic effect for an application period of up to 52 weeks.
Discontinue therapy if the desired treatment success is not achieved within 4 months.
If you have used more than you should
The application has shown no evidence of a correspondingly large absorption of the active ingredient minoxidil into the bloodstream, which could have an effect on the entire body. If you follow the instructions for use, an overdose is unlikely.
Greater absorption of the active ingredient contained in this preparation into the bloodstream can have effects throughout the body, such as: B. by:
incorrect use (in higher doses than recommended and on larger areas of the body or areas of the body other than the scalp),
patient-specific differences,
unusual sensitivity or impairment of the skin due to inflammation or abnormal skin changes on the scalp (e.g. skin abrasions or psoriasis on the scalp).
After accidental ingestion or after application to damaged or pathological areas of skin, effects on the entire body can occur (systemic effects).
This can cause the following side effects to occur: rapid heartbeat, lower blood pressure, accumulation of fluid and therefore sudden weight gain, dizziness, sluggishness.
In case of accidental ingestion or signs of overdose, you should consult a doctor. In the event of an overdose of the active ingredient minoxidil, the doctor can initiate symptomatic and supportive treatment.
If you forget to use it
Next time, do not apply twice as much, but continue treatment at the recommended dose. It makes no sense to repeat the missed application and could lead to undesirable effects.
If you cancel the application
If treatment is interrupted, a condition will arise within 3 to 4 months that would have been achieved without therapy.
If you have any further questions about using this medicine, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
