Clinical Information
Use as directed by your healthcare provider. Spray the solution onto the affected scalp area and lightly spread with clean fingers if instructed. Wash hands after application. If you miss a dose, apply it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double up on doses or apply to other body areas without medical advice.
Minoxidil widens tiny blood vessels in the scalp, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles. Fluocinolone is a mild steroid that lowers swelling, redness, and itching so follicles stay healthy. Tretinoin speeds up skin cell turnover and makes the scalp more receptive to Minoxidil. Vitamin E Acetate acts as an antioxidant and moisturizer, helping protect scalp skin. Most users notice less shedding in 2-3 months and thicker, fuller hair after 4-6 months of regular use. Effects last as long as the medication is continued.
Do not use if you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding (may harm a fetus or infant). Do not use if you are allergic to Minoxidil, Fluocinolone, Tretinoin, Vitamin E, or any spray ingredients such as alcohol or propylene glycol. Do not apply to broken, infected, or sunburned scalp skin. Not for children under 18. Avoid if you have active scalp psoriasis, severe eczema, or uncontrolled high blood pressure unless approved by your prescriber.
Tell your healthcare provider about all medicines and products you use, including over-the-counter scalp treatments. Using other topical steroids or retinoids at the same site may raise the risk of skin thinning or irritation. Oral blood pressure medicines (like propranolol or lisinopril) may add to Minoxidil’s blood-pressure-lowering effect and cause dizziness. Products that contain alcohol, peroxide, or harsh dyes can dry or irritate the scalp when used with this spray. Limit alcohol intake and avoid smoking near the wet spray; the solution is flammable.
Very common (more than 1 in 10 people): mild scalp dryness, itching, or flaking during the first few weeks—usually improves with continued use. Common (1–10 in 100 people): temporary increase in hair shedding during the first month, redness, burning or stinging, oily or dry scalp. Uncommon (1–10 in 1000 people): acne at the application site, folliculitis, unwanted facial hair growth from run-off. Rare but serious: severe allergic contact dermatitis, skin thinning or stretch marks after long-term use, dizziness or rapid heartbeat (systemic absorption). Stop use and seek medical help if you develop hives, swelling, severe irritation, or fainting.
Store at room temperature (68-77 °F, 20-25 °C) in the original spray bottle, tightly closed. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flame, and direct sunlight—contents are flammable. Protect from moisture and do not freeze. Do not store in the bathroom. Discard any unused solution 12 months after opening or by the expiration date, whichever comes first. Dispose of through a pharmacy take-back program or mix with coffee grounds in a sealed bag before placing in household trash.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q:How often should I spray it on my scalp?
A:Follow the schedule your provider gave you, usually once or twice a day. Using more often will not speed up growth and may increase irritation.
Q:What if I forget to apply it one day?
A:Apply the missed dose when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the amount at the next application.
Q:When will I start to see new hair?
A:Most people notice less shedding after about 2–3 months and visible regrowth or thicker strands after 4–6 months. Full benefit can take up to a year.
Q:Can I use it on my beard or eyebrows?
A:No. This prescription is approved only for scalp use. Applying it to other areas can cause unwanted hair growth or skin irritation.
Q:Is it safe to color or perm my hair while using this spray?
A:Yes, but wait at least 24 hours after coloring, perming, or relaxing your hair before applying the spray to reduce irritation risk.
Q:Can pregnant or breastfeeding women use this product?
A:Do not use it if you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are breastfeeding, as some ingredients may harm a baby.
Q:My scalp feels dry and itchy—what can I do?
A:Mild dryness is common in the first weeks. Using a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo and avoiding hot blow-drying often helps. If itching is severe or lasts more than a month, contact your provider.
