    GlossaryMinoxidil 5% (5 percent minoxidil)

    topical solution used to treat hair loss and promote regrowth

    Minoxidil 5% is a topical medication commonly used to treat hair loss and promote hair regrowth in conditions like androgenetic alopecia. It works by stimulating hair follicles and increasing blood flow to the scalp, which can help to extend the growth phase of hair. This concentration is often marketed under brand names like Rogaine and is available over-the-counter.
