How MNX Solution works

MNX-3 Topical Solution is a potassium channel opener. Its vasodilation action expands the blood vessels. Therefore, when it is applied to the scalp, it helps to increase blood flow. This increased blood flow provides more nutrition and oxygen to the hair follicles, which prevents hair cell death and also enhances new hair growth. This is how it works to treat your alopecia (hair loss).

Quick tips

  • Wash your hands before and after application.
  • It should only be applied directly to the scalp. If MNX-3 Topical Solution accidentally comes in contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth, flush the area thoroughly with cool tap water.
  • Do not shampoo your hair or use a hairdryer for 4 hours after applying MNX-3 Topical Solution as it can reduce the effectiveness of the medicine.
  • During the first 2 weeks of application, your hair fall may increase. This is normal and is a sign that MNX-3 Topical Solution is working.
  • Take care that MNX-3 Topical Solution does not trickle down onto your face as it may cause undesirable facial hair growth.
