Common use
Tugain Solution is primarily used to manage hair loss, specifically a condition known as androgenetic alopecia. This topical medicine belongs to a class of drugs known as vasodilators. In addition to addressing hair loss, this solution is also beneficial in promoting hair regrowth. It is particularly efficient in individuals experiencing pattern baldness, an issue characterized by gradual thinning or bald patches on the top of the scalp.
Dosage and direction
Ensure your scalp and hair are dry before application. Apply the solution directly to your scalp, focusing on the areas where hair thinning or loss is most severe. Use your fingertips to gently spread the solution evenly across your scalp. After applying, let your hair dry naturally. Avoid using a hairdryer as it may reduce the effectiveness of the medicine. Always wash your hands thoroughly after using this solution to avoid accidental transfer to other parts of your body.
