Rephair 5% Topical Solution

Rephair 5% Topical Solution is a minoxidil scalp solution used to help treat certain types of hair loss, most commonly hereditary thinning. Each bottle contains minoxidil 5% as a topical solution for application directly to the scalp. It belongs to the vasodilator class and is used to support hair regrowth and reduce further hair shedding in appropriate patients. Rephair 5% Topical Solution is a higher-strength minoxidil option compared with lower-strength products and should be used only as directed by a clinician.

How it works: Minoxidil in Rephair 5% Topical Solution works by widening blood vessels around hair follicles and helping improve the growth phase of the hair cycle. Applied as a scalp solution, it is absorbed through the skin and may help stimulate dormant follicles so hair can become thicker over time.

Rephair 5% Topical Solution is the stronger of the two listed strengths, with Rephair 10% Topical Solution being an even higher-strength sibling. The 5% solution may be chosen when a doctor wants a standard prescription-strength topical minoxidil that can be easier to tolerate than stronger formulations while still offering more potency than lower-strength options. It is generally suited for adults who have been assessed for scalp hair loss and are able to use a solution applied to the scalp consistently.

• Hereditary hair loss
• Male pattern thinning
• Female pattern thinning
• Scalp hair regrowth support
• Reducing ongoing hair shedding

• Use Rephair 5% Topical Solution exactly on the scalp as directed by your doctor or the product label.
• Apply the solution only to dry scalp areas where hair is thinning, not to broken, irritated, or sunburned skin.
• Wash your hands after applying, and avoid getting the solution in your eyes, mouth, nose, or on other body areas.
• Allow the solution to dry fully before using hair products, wearing a hat, or going to bed.
• Do not use more than directed; applying extra solution does not work faster and may raise side effect risk.
• If you miss an application, use it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next one; do not double up.

Each bottle of Rephair 5% Topical Solution provides minoxidil 5% for scalp use, which is a prescription-strength topical concentration. How often to apply it and the maximum amount per day should be determined by the doctor based on your hair loss pattern, skin tolerance, and treatment goals. Because this is a 5% strength, it is not a one-size-fits-all starting dose for every patient, and some people may be directed to use a lower or different formulation instead.

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

Common side effects of Minoxidil may include:

• Scalp irritation or itching
• Dryness or flaking of the scalp
• Redness at the application site
• Temporary increased hair shedding at the start of treatment
• Unwanted facial hair growth if the solution spreads to other skin areas
• Mild burning or stinging of the scalp
• Headache

• Use only on the scalp unless your doctor tells you otherwise; do not apply to other body areas.
• Do not use on irritated, infected, sunburned, or cut skin.
• Higher-strength minoxidil products may cause more scalp irritation in some people, so stop and ask a clinician if irritation is significant.
• Use caution if you have heart disease, low blood pressure, or a history of fainting.
• Get medical advice before use if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
• Avoid getting the solution in the eyes or on the face, where it may cause unwanted hair growth or irritation.
• Do not use more than the recommended amount; excess topical use can increase the chance of systemic side effects.

• Other topical scalp products that irritate or dry the skin, such as harsh alcohol-based treatments
• Topical corticosteroids or medicated scalp treatments applied at the same time unless a clinician approves
• Blood pressure medicines that may add to dizziness or low blood pressure symptoms
• Alcohol-containing hair products if they increase scalp irritation
• Other minoxidil products, including Rephair 10% Topical Solution, unless specifically directed by a doctor
