How Trugain 2% works
Trugain 2% is a potassium channel opener. Its vasodilation action expands the blood vessels. Therefore, when it is applied to the scalp, it helps to increase the 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).
What if you forget to take Trugain 2%?
If you miss a dose of Trugain 2%, apply it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

- During the first 2 weeks of application, your hair fall may increase. This is normal and is a sign that MX 5 Topical Solution is working.

Mode of Action
Minoxidil is an antihypertensive with direct vasodilating property. It reduces elevated BP accompanied by reflex tachycardia, increased cardiac output and elevated plasma renin. Applied topically, minoxidil stimulates hair growth secondary to vasodilation, increases cutaneous blood flow and stimulates resting hair follicles.
