Minoxidil solution works by increasing blood flow directly to the scalp, providing more oxygen and nutrients. This encourages your hair follicles to transition from a dormant growth phase to an active growth phase. Learn more about how minoxidil works.
Azelaic acid for hair can reduce inflammation and even out skin tone. It also has significant skin-calming effects and helps to improve redness. It decreases pigmentation by inhibiting enzymes that cause hyperpigmentation.
DrHair Formulas are unlicensed products, therefore it does not currently have a valid UK marketing authorisation.
Unlicensed medicines can be prescribed for ‘off-label’ use. Off-label means that the person prescribing the medicine wants to use it differently from what is specified in its licence. This could mean using the medicine for a different condition or a different group of patients, or it could mean a change in the dose.
DrHair’s Minoxidil Formula should be applied twice daily for optimum results. For example, one application in the morning and one in the evening.

It is important to use the spray regularly and as directed to ensure optimal results.
Step 1: Wash your hands before and after applying the solution.
Step 2: Part the hair to allow delivery onto the scalp zones most impacted with baldness. Spray the solution twice on the desired areas. Please apply to the scalp rather than the hair for optimal results.

Yes, there’s a chance that minoxidil can cause a rash on your scalp. If this occurs, stop using the product. Due to low systemic absorption, your side effects should disappear once you discontinue use.
Please contact a medical professional or DrHair if you have any queries.
Minoxidil 5%, azelaic acid 2%, purified water, propylene glycol and ethanol.
You’ll generally see results within 3 months, but peak results can take up to 9 months of consistent use. Apply the formula twice a day every day to see results as soon as possible.

Oral minoxidil tablets are licensed in the UK to reduce blood pressure. When minoxidil is applied topically to the scalp, it is absorbed differently, with an absorption rate of only 1-2%. When taken orally, the absorption rate is higher.

No, they work differently. Minoxidil solution increases blood flow to your scalp, providing more oxygen and nutrients, which helps hair follicles transition from a dormant to an active growth phase.
Oral finasteride stops the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT can shrink hair follicles and shorten the hair growth cycle, leading to hair loss. By reducing DHT levels, finasteride promotes hair growth and increases hair thickness.
You may experience mild itching on the scalp and some temporary hair loss from minoxidil for a short while after starting treatment. But any minoxidil side effects are usually temporary with continued treatment, and will disappear when treatment is stopped.
When used topically, systemic effects are unlikely, as just 1-2% of the active ingredient is absorbed. Greater absorption occurs on inflamed or broken skin, so we advise against using the formula in these cases.
The main concern with minoxidil use in pregnancy is its systemic absorption, which could potentially affect the developing foetus. Whilst the formula is topically applied and systemic absorption is low, it would be advised not to use the formula during this period.
Aside from pregnancy and breastfeeding, minoxidil for women is generally safe and effective.
Due to the lack of evidence it is not recommended to breastfeed whilst using the formula.
