Hello, dear colleagues,
I have dedicated this week’s formula to a preparation containing the active ingredient we all know very well (MINOXIDIL).
At the same time, in this formula, we will see what we can accomplish in our laboratories if we wish.
Minoxidil prevents hair loss and stimulates hair growth by increasing blood flow in the scalp. It is believed to exert its therapeutic effect by activating weak hair follicles and prolonging the growth (anagen) phase of the hair cycle.
Rather than stimulating new hair follicles, minoxidil acts by inducing hypertrophy and returning the diameter and depth of existing miniaturized follicles to normal.
In the long-term treatment of baldness (ANDROGENIC ALOPECIA), look at how pharmacists in Germany prepare this formula to prevent hair loss and stimulate hair growth:
Minoxidil-Haarspiritus 2 % / 5 % (NRF 11.121.)
2 % 5 %
Minoxidil 2,0 g 5,0 g
Isopropylpalmitat 1,0 g 1,0 g
Macrogol-40-glycerolhydroxystearat 2,5 g 2,5 g
Propylenglycol 7,5 g 15,0 g
Ethanol 70 % (v/v) ad 100,0 g ad 100,0 g
I would like to remind you that in this formula, the 2% form is used for women, and the 5% form is used for men.
Before using the formula, the hair and scalp must be clean and dry.
APPLICATION: In androgenic alopecia, the dosage is applied to the scalp as 1 ml twice daily.
- Distribute the required amount of solution over the area where you want hair to grow, massaging from the center outwards toward the edges. When applying, try to gently rub the medication in using soft circular motions rather than applying harsh pressure.
- Do not wash or shampoo your hair for four hours after applying the formula to the area.
- Wash your hands after applying the formula so that unwanted hair growth does not occur inadvertently anywhere else on your body.
- After applying the solution, do not try to dry your scalp with a hair dryer; blow-drying may reduce the effectiveness of the medication.
- Since minoxidil causes staining, you must wait until it dries completely for two to four hours after applying the medication. If there is a rash, sunburn, etc., on the scalp, you must consult your doctor before applying the medication.
WARNINGS:
It is contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation. It should be kept in mind that the hypotensive effect may increase in patients using diuretics and other antihypertensive medications. Therefore, patients with renal failure and dialysis patients must use it with caution.
It should not be recommended for patients under 18 years of age and over 65 years of age.
To list the rare side effects;
Allergic skin reactions;
Local irritation;
Itching at the application site;
Skin itching;
Redness;
Dermatitis;
Are possible side effects that may occur.
DOSAGE;
1 ml of the solution is applied to the scalp twice daily.
Stability: While it can be stored intact for 6 months at 15 °C in an amber glass bottle, it can also be stored intact for 1 year at 8 °C in an amber glass bottle.
Wishing you all a great week, goodbye.
