Medicine Description regaine 5%
regaine 5% Spray is a medication that primarily functions as a vasodilator. It increases blood circulation to the hair follicles, providing essential nutrients and oxygen that promote hair growth. While the exact mechanism remains partially understood, it is suggested that minoxidil may also enhance follicular size and stimulate the proliferation of hair follicle cells. This action results in thicker hair shafts and an extended duration of the anagen phase, leading to a higher density of hair over time.
