Which brand of Minoxidil is better? Is foam better or Minoxidil?

Minoxidil is produced in two forms of solution and foam and to treat hair loss and help hair regrowth with two doses of 2% and 5% by various Iranian and foreign laboratories.

Minoxidil is one of the oldest topical anti-hair loss products, and although more than 20 years have passed since its first production, it is still one of the best-selling and most effective hair growth stimulants sold worldwide.

The effect of minoxidil on hair regrowth has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as long as the hair follicles have not been removed. However, not all consumers get results, and factors such as genetics, age and, most importantly, start using It is important in the early stages of hair loss.


The 2% dose is suitable for women and 5% is suitable for men. Of course, men can also use 2%, but women taking 5% minoxidil may experience side effects such as hair growth on their face and body.

When you apply Minoxidil to a part of the head, it causes the arteries in that area to dilate and the blood flow, which contains oxygen and nutrients, to reach the hair roots more and strengthens them, so whatever the reason for hair loss, take Minoxidil. It can be effective in preventing it and hair regrowth.

It should be noted that the use of minoxidil in some people has a negative effect and not only does not reduce hair loss but also increases it, but according to statistics, this issue has been observed in 10% of consumers.

Another point is that in the first month of taking minoxidil, hair loss may increase, which is normal, but if after 4 weeks of taking minoxidil, the person still sees an increase in hair loss, that is, it is 10% and he should not continue to use it. .

The most frequently asked question is about the Minoxidil brand and whether its solution is better or foam. Let's start by examining the Minoxidil brands:


Minoxidil Pakdaro: is an old company that has been producing Minoxidil solution for many years and has recently increased the quality of its solutions. Its solutions are of good quality and due to its low and reasonable price compared to foreign brands, it is a good option. Since it is produced in Iran and distributed legally in pharmacies, there is no need to worry about it being counterfeit.

Alopexy: This solution is made in France and has a very good quality. According to many consumers, problems such as fat or hair stickiness are not observed with the use of alopexy.


Rogaine: An American brand and the first laboratory to mass-produce minoxidil and, as expected, to produce one of the highest quality minoxidil solutions and foams.

Regaine: Another brand that started to produce after Rogaine and imitates it, has a very good quality and in many countries, both Asian and European, is produced independently and under the license of the main laboratory.

Kirkland: Kirkland: Another American brand that in addition to minoxidil produces many other food supplements including multivitamins, minerals, herbal compounds, etc. and is well known in most countries and has a very good quality. Be.

Handmade Minoxidils: Minoxidil solution is prepared by a pharmacist and pharmacist. Its ingredients are Minoxidil powder, distilled water, sometimes alcohol and several other compounds that can be easily made, but there are two important points. The first is the quality of Minoxidil powder. The buyer can not get information about it, and secondly, the pharmacist can take into account the exact amount of compounds prescribed by the doctor. I do not think that the use of homemade minoxidil has any advantage over the ready-made minoxidils of reputable companies, except when another compound must be added to the minoxidil solution at the doctor's discretion.


Is foam better or minoxidil solution?

The foam is suitable for people with baldness or men who shave their heads, because it is difficult for these people to use the solution, and the so-called solution slips on their heads, and it is difficult for them to spread the solution evenly, and the solution for some. It is suitable for normal or long hair because with a dropper they can spread the solution directly on the scalp.

How to use Minoxidil:

The general method of taking Minoxidil is 1 cc (ml) in the morning and 1 cc at night with an interval of 12 hours. It can also be used 2 cc once a day.
