Brintop 2% Solution

Brintop 2% Solution is a topical hair-loss medicine containing minoxidil 2% in each bottle. It belongs to the vasodilator class and is used on the scalp to help treat androgenetic alopecia, also called pattern hair loss, in adults. Brintop 2% Solution is applied directly to thinning areas of the scalp rather than taken by mouth. It is manufactured by Brinton Pharmaceuticals and comes as a strip/box of 10 bottles.

How it works: Minoxidil in Brintop 2% Solution helps increase blood flow around hair follicles and may shift follicles into the growth phase. By applying the solution to the scalp, the medicine works where hair thinning is happening instead of affecting the whole body much.

Brintop 2% Solution is the lower-strength minoxidil solution commonly chosen when a doctor wants a gentler topical option, especially for people who are starting treatment or who are more sensitive to scalp irritation. Compared with higher-strength minoxidil products, the 2% solution may be better tolerated, but it may also be less potent for some patients, so the right choice depends on the individual and the prescriber’s assessment.

• Androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss)
• Thinning hair on the scalp
• Female pattern hair loss when prescribed
• Supporting hair regrowth in selected adults

• Apply Brintop 2% Solution only to a dry scalp, not to wet or broken skin.
• Use the amount and frequency your doctor prescribes; do not use more often just to try to speed results.
• Part hair to expose the thinning area, then apply the solution directly to the scalp.
• Wash your hands after use to avoid spreading the medicine to other areas.
• Let the solution dry completely before using hair products, blow-drying, or going to bed.
• Avoid shampooing the scalp immediately after applying unless your doctor tells you otherwise.

Each bottle of Brintop 2% Solution contains minoxidil 2% for topical use on the scalp. The exact amount to apply and how often to use it may vary by patient, but it is commonly used twice daily when prescribed; your doctor determines the schedule and the maximum daily amount for you.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Minoxidil may include:

• Scalp irritation
• Itching
• Dryness or flaking of the scalp
• Redness at the application site
• Temporary increased shedding early in treatment
• Unwanted hair growth on nearby skin if the solution spreads

• Use Brintop 2% Solution only on the scalp; do not use on irritated, infected, or sunburned skin.
• Do not apply more than prescribed, because extra minoxidil can increase side effects without improving results.
• Use caution if you have heart disease, low blood pressure, or a history of palpitations.
• Avoid getting the solution in the eyes, nose, or mouth; rinse well with water if contact occurs.
• Do not use together with other scalp products unless your clinician says it is okay.
• Stop and seek medical advice if you develop chest pain, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, or swelling.
• Alcohol or styling products applied too soon after the solution may increase scalp irritation.

• Other topical hair-loss products unless approved by your doctor
• Topical scalp medicines that irritate the skin, such as strong acne or steroid products applied nearby
• Blood pressure medicines, which may add to dizziness or low blood pressure in sensitive people
• Drugs or products that can cause rapid heartbeat or fluid retention
• Oral minoxidil or any product containing minoxidil, unless specifically directed by a clinician
