Jamp Minoxidil Solution: Uses, Side Effects and Dosage

What is JAMP Minoxidil Solution used for?

• JAMP Minoxidil Solution is used for the treatment of male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) on the top of the scalp (vertex) in men aged 18-65 years. It prevents further hair loss and helps hair regrowth.

• JAMP Minoxidil Solution has no effect on receding hairlines. It does not permanently reverse male pattern baldness; most new hair is lost within three to four months after stopping the medication.

How does JAMP Minoxidil Solution work?

JAMP Minoxidil Solution contains minoxidil, which is thought to work by aiding the blood flow to hair follicles on your scalp and thereby helping hair regrowth. Initial hair regrowth may look soft, downy (“vellus” hair) and may be barely visible. After further treatment, hair regrowth may change and become the same colour and thickness as the rest of the hair.

JAMP Minoxidil Solution is more effective if you are experiencing gradually thinning hair or gradual hair loss on the top of the head (as shown in the image).

Gradual hair loss on the top of the scalp

Male Pattern Baldness or Hereditary Hair Loss is recognizable because:

• Of the pattern of hair loss (see diagrams above).
• Hair loss starts gradually and progresses.
• You have a family history of hair loss.
• No other symptoms are present with your hair loss.

You must use JAMP Minoxidil Solution for at least 4 months, and possibly for up to 1 year, before you see any effect.

The amount of hair regrowth is different for each person. Not everyone will respond to JAMP Minoxidil Solution. The response to this medicine cannot be predicted. No one will be able to grow back all of their hair.

You may respond better if you have been losing your hair for a shorter period of time (less than 10 years) or have little initial hair loss (less than a diameter of 10 cm).
