product discovered by coincidence to become the greatest inventions. Minoxidil
has been invented as an arterial dilator and pressure therapy. However, the main
reason for his invention was the treatment of ulcers, but he failed miserably. But
rather that it was not used later as a treatment for the expansion of blood
vessels or treatment of pressure, but used in the germination of hair!!

genetic baldness around the world and was manufactured in Abjun laboratories at
a concentration of 2.0% to a concentration of 5.0% and even became possible to
be used without a prescription where Abjun launched Minoxidil 5.0% for the
treatment of baldness in men, FDA to sell minoxidil 5.0% without prescription. In
2014, minoxidil became the only topical treatment recognized by the FDA for the
treatment of hereditary hair loss and is available for sale in OTC in most countries
of the world.
2.0% is used for women and 5.0% for men, but it takes months, patience,
perseverance and continuity to get good results.
