MANEXIL 2% GEL OINTMENT

MANEXIL 2% GEL OINTMENT is used to treat hereditary hair loss, also known as male or female pattern baldness. The detailed uses of MANEXIL 2% GEL OINTMENT are as follows:

• Hereditary hair loss (Androgenetic alopecia): MANEXIL 2% GEL OINTMENT helps by revitalising shrunken hair follicles, increasing their size, and promoting the growth of new hair strands.
• Thinning hair: MANEXIL 2% GEL OINTMENT improves blood flow to the hair follicles on the scalp, which helps thicken existing hair and slows down the thinning process.

MANEXIL 2% GEL OINTMENT offers effective and targeted support for those looking to manage hair thinning and support regrowth. Here are the key benefits you can expect from consistent use:

• Promotes active hair regrowth: It helps stimulate inactive hair follicles to enter an active growth phase, resulting in visible new hair over time.
• Slows down hair thinning: By prolonging the growth phase of the hair cycle, it helps reduce daily hair shedding and preserves hair density.
• Convenient local action: Since it is applied directly to the scalp, it works exactly where it is needed with minimal effects on the rest of the body.

• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safe and effective use.
• Clean and dry the scalp before application. Apply the prescribed amount of MANEXIL 2% GEL OINTMENT directly to the scalp and massage gently to help absorption.
• Do not apply to areas of the body other than the normal healthy scalp. It should not be used on inflamed, infected, irritated, or painful scalp skin.
• Wash your hands before and after using MANEXIL 2% GEL OINTMENT.
• Do not shampoo your hair for 4 hours after applying MANEXIL 2% GEL OINTMENT.

• Focus on nutrition: Eat a balanced diet rich in proteins, iron, zinc, and vitamins (such as biotin and vitamin D) to provide the essential building blocks for healthy hair.
• Avoid harsh styling: Minimise the use of tight hairstyles, chemical straighteners, hair dyes, or high-heat styling tools that can cause hair breakage or physical damage to hair follicles.
• Manage stress: High levels of emotional or physical stress can disrupt the normal hair growth cycle. Practice stress-relief techniques like regular exercise or mindfulness.
• Allow absorption time: Avoid washing, wetting, or swimming for at least four hours after applying the medication to ensure your scalp has fully absorbed the product.

• Always check your scalp before application; do not use MANEXIL 2% GEL OINTMENT if your scalp is red, painful, inflamed, infected, or severely sunburned.
• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after applying the medicine to avoid transferring it to other parts of your body, which can cause unwanted hair growth.
• If the medicine accidentally comes into contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth, rinse the area immediately with plenty of cool tap water.
• Be prepared for temporary hair shedding in the first 2 to 6 weeks; this is a normal sign that the hair follicles are transitioning into a new growth cycle, but consult your doctor if shedding persists beyond this period.
• Do not use a hair dryer to speed up the drying of the medication on your scalp, as heat can reduce the overall effectiveness of the treatment.
