Tugain 2% – Bottle of 60ml Solution

Tugain 2% is a topical solution that contains Minoxidil as its active ingredient, similar to the 5% formulation but with a lower concentration. It is used to treat hair loss, especially in individuals with androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness).

Here are the key details about Tugain 2% (Minoxidil):

• Concentration: 2% Minoxidil
• Formulation: Solution (liquid)
• Bottle Size: 60 mL
• Indications: Primarily used to treat hair thinning and hair loss, particularly on the scalp. It is typically recommended for women experiencing hair thinning, as they are often prescribed the 2% concentration, while men are more commonly prescribed the 5% version.
• Usage: The usual recommended dose is 1 mL of the solution applied twice daily (once in the morning and once at night) to the affected area of the scalp. It should be applied to a dry scalp and hair.

How it works:

Minoxidil in the 2% solution helps stimulate hair regrowth by improving blood flow to hair follicles, encouraging hair growth. The exact mechanism of how Minoxidil works is not fully understood, but it is believed to promote the proliferation of hair follicles and increase hair density.

Side Effects:

• Common Side Effects: Scalp irritation, dryness, itching, or redness at the application site.
• Serious Side Effects: Although rare, serious side effects may include dizziness, chest pain, rapid heartbeat, or swelling of the hands or feet.

Precautions:

• Not suitable for everyone: Individuals under 18 or those with certain scalp conditions (e.g., sunburn, cuts, or infections) should avoid using the solution.
• Dosage: Do not use more than the recommended dose. Excessive use may increase the risk of side effects.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: The safety of using Minoxidil during pregnancy or breastfeeding has not been fully established. It’s best to consult a healthcare provider before using it.

As with any Minoxidil treatment, it’s essential to follow the application instructions carefully and consult a healthcare provider if you experience any side effects or have concerns about using Tugain 2%.
