DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Adults:
Apply a dose of 1g (equivalent to the volume of half a capful) to the hair loss area twice a day. Your hair and scalp should be dry.
- Always use this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as your doctor, pharmacist or nurse has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
- Use this foam twice a day to achieve and maintain the desired effect on hair growth.
- This foam is for use on the normal healthy scalp only. It should not be used on inflamed, infected, irritated or painful scalp skin. Do not apply on other parts of the body.
- Make sure to apply the foam directly to the scalp.
- Avoid contact with the eyes. If you get the foam in your eyes, rinse your eyes immediately with plenty of cool tap water.
For diagrams and instructions on how to use, please see patient information leaflet attached.
Further Information:
In the first couple of months, some users may experience increased hair shedding after using this foam for the first time. This can be a sign that Regaine® Foam is working. This temporary increase in hair shedding generally occurs between 2 and 6 weeks after beginning of treatment and then subsides. If increased shedding continues after 6 weeks, see your doctor. Hair is usually soft, downy, colourless. After further use, the new hair should be the same colour and thickness as the other hairs on your head. Since hair grows slowly, Regaine® Foam takes time to work. Results may be seen in 2-4 months with twice a day use. If there’s no hair regrowth after 4 months, then stop using Regaine® Foam. The amount of hair re-growth is different for each person. This product will not work for all men. Continued use is necessary to increase and maintain hair re-growth, or hair loss will begin again. If you stop using the foam, regrown hair may fall out and your scalp will likely return to its former state within 3-4 months.
Warning - Do not exceed stated dose
