Have a query?
Alopec Lotion is used for the treatment of Alopecia/hair loss.
Alopec Lotion is a vasodilator and widens the blood vessels promoting the blood flow. This process helps nourish the hair cells with the supply of oxygen and nutrients and thus stimulates hair growth.
You may notice hair shedding during the initial 2-6 weeks of treatment, which is normal. Hair loss gradually stops after two weeks of treatment. If it persists for over two weeks, stop using Alopec Lotion and consult your doctor.
Hair growth is a slow process, and it usually takes four months to see the best results of Alopec Lotion.
Alopec Lotion is for topical use only. Do not put a bandage or dressing on the affected area while treating with Alopec Lotion. If the medicine gets into your eyes, nose or mouth, rinse with cold water. Do not blow-dry your scalp after using Alopec Lotion. Do not apply Alopec Lotion on shaved, inflamed, infected, irritated or painful scalp skin.
Alopec Lotion is for scalp use; do not apply it on your face. If Alopec Lotion gets in contact with any other body areas, rinse with water thoroughly.
It is not required to wash your hair daily after applying Alopec Lotion. But, make sure your hair is dry before applying Alopec Lotion if you have washed your hair.
Do not use Alopec Lotion for beard growth. Alopec Lotion is recommended only for hair loss on the scalp.
Do not freeze Alopec Lotion. Please keep it away from direct sunlight. If you are using foam, keep the foam canister away from open flame or high heat since it may explode. Do not puncture or burn an empty canister.
You are advised to use Alopec Lotion for as long as your doctor has told you. Using more than advised or more often will not increase effectiveness. Please follow your doctor's instructions.
The side effects of Alopec Lotion include changes in colour/texture of the hair, skin irritation, dryness, redness, scaling of the skin and excessive hair growth. If these side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
You must keep using Alopec Lotion to make sure that your hair grows longer. If you stop using Alopec Lotion, the regrown hair may disappear after 3 to 4 months and hair loss or balding may restart.
As hair growth is a slow process, it may take some time for you to notice new hair growth after starting the treatment with Alopec Lotion. Use it for as long as it is advised by your doctor to see best results.
