Treatment of male pattern baldness
This medication is used for the treatment of male pattern baldness, specifically androgenetic alopecia. It improves hair loss symptoms caused by the influence of male hormones and promotes hair growth. With continuous use, it helps to slow down hair loss progression and aids in the growth of new hair, thereby improving scalp health and restoring confidence.
After fully drying the hair and scalp, apply 0.5 to 1 g of this medication twice daily (morning and evening) only to the affected area for at least 4 months. The total daily dosage should not exceed 2 g.

If any abnormal symptoms such as skin rash, itching, heart problems, or difficulty breathing occur during use, discontinue use immediately and consult a professional. This medication is for topical use only on the scalp. Excessive application or use on areas other than the scalp can lead to serious side effects. After use, wash hands thoroughly and avoid contact with eyes or broken skin. This medication is flammable; therefore, do not store near flame or heat, and keep it out of reach of children.
