About Minopep 5% Topical Solution

Minopep 5% Topical Solution belongs to the class of ‘vasodilators’ used to treat alopecia (hair loss). Minopep 5% Topical Solution stimulates hair growth and slows down the process of balding. Alopecia is the thinning or loss of hair on the scalp or any part of the body.

Minopep 5% Topical Solution contains ‘Minoxidil’, a vasodilator that widens the blood vessels. This vasodilation process helps provide oxygen, blood, and nutrients to the hair follicles, thereby preventing hair cell death and promoting new hair growth.
