    topical medication that stimulates hair growth and treats hair loss

    Minoxidil, commonly known by brand names like Rogaine, is a topical medication used to treat hair loss and promote hair regrowth in conditions such as 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.
