Chekfall 5% Solution (Minoxidil 5%)

INTRODUCTION

Chekfall Solution contains Minoxidil which is used in the treatment of hereditary hair loss. Minoxidil belongs to a class of drugs known as vasodilators. It works by widening the blood vessels to deliver more oxygen-rich blood to the hair follicles. It also helps to increase the size of hair follicles, which promotes the growth of thicker, stronger hairs.

This solution should only be applied directly to the scalp area in the amount, and in the way, as prescribed by your doctor. Clean and dry your scalp before using it. It may take several months for the hair to regrow. Most people need to use this medication regularly for 4-6 months to see benefit.

Chekfall Solution should not normally be used by people under the age of 18. You should also not use this medicine if are using other creams or lotions to treat other scalp conditions. It is not used for sudden/patchy hair loss, unexplained hair loss (for example, if you have no family history of hair loss), or hair loss after giving birth. It works by prolonging the growth phase of the hair follicles. It thickens the hair and helps in regrowth.
