Minoxidil Extra Strength for Men is a medication used to help regrow hair on the scalp, specifically in areas where hair loss has occurred. It works by stimulating hair follicles to promote hair growth. You should apply one milliliter, which is about six sprays, directly onto the affected area of your scalp two times a day. It's important to keep using it regularly to maintain hair regrowth, as stopping may lead to hair loss returning. Remember, this product is for external use only and is flammable, so keep it away from fire or flames.
