Please read the following warnings carefully to ensure that REGAINE® is safe for you to use and that you use it safely. Please read all packaging and the Product Information Leaflet before taking any new medicine and inform your doctor of medicines you are taking or intend to take.

• This medicine is for external use only.
• Do not use REGAINE if you are female.
• Do not use REGAINE if you are under the age of eighteen or over sixty-five years old.
• Do not use REGAINE if you have previously had a bad reaction to Minoxidil or any of the other ingredients contained in the product.
• Do not use REGAINE if you are unsure that your hair loss is hereditary or if it is caused by another form of medical treatment.
• Both REGAINE extra strength foam and solution are flammable. Do not use them near any naked flame or heat source or whilst smoking.
• Do not apply REGAINE to areas of the body other than the scalp.
• Do not use REGAINE if you have total baldness or complete loss of all body hair or if the cause of your hair loss is unknown or it is sudden or unexpected.
• It is possible that psoriasis suffers could find that Minoxidil may pass into the bloodstream via the scalp so do not use REGAINE® if you have any condition affecting your scalp including sunburn or psoriasis, or if you are using creams, ointments or lotions to treat scalp conditions.
• Do not use REGAINE if you have any kind of dressing or bandage on your scalp.
• Wash your hands after applying REGAINE to prevent inadvertently transferring it to other parts of the body.
• Avoid using REGAINE on broken or inflamed skin or if you have a shaved scalp.
• Avoid getting REGAINE in your eyes or in contact with the moist membranes lining the inside of certain parts of the body, e.g. the mouth, nasal passages (mucous membranes). Rinse thoroughly with cold water if accidental contact occurs.
• Do not exceed the recommended dose and do not use more than twice a day. More frequent application will not make your hair grow any more quickly. It may also increase the chance of the medicine being absorbed into your body and causing side effects.
• You may experience some initial hair loss when you start using REGAINE; this is due to old hair falling out as new hairs replace them and this is an expected and positive sign. However if shedding persists for longer than two weeks, discontinue the treatment and consult your doctor.
• You should not use REGAINE if you suffer from heart disease, including abnormal heart rhythms or rates, angina or chest pains and/or circulation disorders.
• Stop using REGAINE immediately if you experience chest pains, an increased heart rate, fainting, dizziness, sudden and unexplained weight gain, swollen hands or feet or persistent redness or irritation of the scalp. Consult your doctor promptly.
• You should not use REGAINE if you are also taking medicines for high blood pressure; it is theoretically possible that use of REGAINE could enhance the effect of medication prescribed for hypertension (blood pressure) and cause dizziness. Even if you are not on medication for hypertension, REGAINE is not a suitable product for you.
• Certain medicines that are applied to the skin can increase the permeability of the skin. These include corticosteroids such as hydrocortisone, retinoids such as isotretinoin or tretinoin – the latter is commonly used to treat acne or other skins disorder, dithranol which is used to treat psoriasis, urea and Vaseline Petroleum jelly. You should not use REGAINE if you are using any other medicines topically on your scalp because they might cause more Minoxidil to be absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream. This could increase the risk of any side effects.
• Keep the container and contents away from naked flames during use, storage and disposal and store the container in a cool, well ventilated place ensuring that it is tightly sealed.

Wash your hands before and after applying the solution.

• Apply 1ml of the solution twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening about thirty minutes before going to bed. Gently massage the solution into the affected areas of scalp. You should leave about twelve hours between each application for maximum benefit.
• REGAINE solution comes with three different applicators each of which deliver a 1ml dose of the solution via pump spray applicator, extended spray tip or rub-on. The one that is most suitable for you will depend on the size of the area of scalp you need to treat. For large areas of scalp, the pump spray is the most effective dispenser, for small areas, the rub-on is best and for small areas concealed under the hair, the extended spray tip is the best option.
• When using the pump spray or extended spray tip applicator, aim the pump at the centre of the bald area, press once and spread with fingertips over the entire bald area. Repeat a total of six times in order to supply the 1ml dose. Try to avoid inhaling the mist from the spray.
• If using the rub-on application, there is a one specifically marked to dispense the 1ml dose. Squeeze the chamber to the black line marking.
• The bottle can then be turned upside down and the application can be applied knowing that a 1ml dose will be applied.
• Do not use more than the 1ml dose per application and do not use more than twice a day.
• Apply the foam twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening about thirty minutes before going to bed.
• Both the solution and the foam can also be used on a receding hair line in addition to areas on the crown of your head.
• It is important to persist twice daily with the treatments as it can take at least two months to see any regrowth with either the solution or the foam. If you see no improvements after using REGAINE® for sixteen weeks, you should stop using it.
