Generic Similares Minoxidil 5% Topical Solution is an extra strength hair regrowth treatment formulated for men experiencing hair thinning on the top of the scalp (vertex). This unscented solution works to reactivate hair follicles, promoting hair regrowth when used as directed. Dr. Simi recommended Directions for Use: Apply 1 mL of the solution directly onto the scalp in the hair loss area twice daily. Using more or more often will not improve results. Continued use is necessary to maintain hair regrowth. Important Information: For external use only. For use by men only.

Note: It takes time to regrow hair. Results may occur at 2 months with twice-a-day usage. For some men, you may need to use this product for at least 4 months before you see results.
