How to use AGA Lotion

This medicine is for external use only. Use this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Shake it well and apply to the area evenly.

How AGA Lotion works

AGA Lotion is a potassium channel opener. Its vasodilation action expands the blood vessels. Therefore, when it is applied to the scalp, it helps to increase blood flow. This increased blood flow provides more nutrition and oxygen to the hair follicles, which prevents hair cell death and also enhances new hair growth. This is how it works to treat your alopecia (hair loss).

Quick tips

Wash your hands before and after application.
It should only be applied directly to the scalp. If AGA Lotion accidentally comes in contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth, flush the area thoroughly with cool tap water.
Do not shampoo your hair or use a hairdryer for 4 hours after applying AGA Lotion as it can reduce the effectiveness of the medicine.
During the first 2 weeks of application, your hair fall may increase. This is normal and is a sign that AGA Lotion is working.
Take care that AGA Lotion does not trickle down onto your face as it may cause undesirable facial hair growth.

Hello PATIENT to 1mg. This problem is very common with diabetes patient. My personal advice is lifestyle changes like exercising, don't wear tight cloths, do pelvic kegal exercise, do lot of foreplay. There are medications but they have side effects so i dont advice first. But i strongly recommend to start healthy life with no stress at all with some antioxidant vitamins and healthy diet. You may take vitamin like DHEA cap, L arginine and herbal ashwagandha capsule. Concentrate on Yoga and meditation and also take help from your partner while foreplay. Use these for couple of months if not improved do few blood tests
