Tugain 5% Solution (60ml) is a topical medication used to treat male and female pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). It contains Minoxidil as the active ingredient, which works by stimulating hair follicles and improving blood circulation to the scalp, encouraging new hair growth and reducing hair fall. Tugain 5% is an effective treatment for people experiencing early stages of hair thinning or hair loss.
Before using Tugain 5%, keep these precautions in mind:
- For external use only; avoid contact with eyes, nose, or mouth.
- Do not use if you are allergic to Minoxidil or any other ingredient in the formula.
- Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under 18 years of age.
- Avoid applying the solution on an irritated, inflamed, or sunburned scalp.
- Do not exceed the recommended dose to prevent unwanted side effects.
