Tugain 5% Gel is a vasodilator commonly used to treat male pattern baldness by promoting hair growth. It should be applied directly to the scalp as instructed by your doctor or according to the label. Ensure your scalp is clean and dry before applying. Hair regrowth may take 2-4 months to become noticeable, with initial growth appearing soft, colorless, and barely visible. Using more than the recommended amount will not accelerate results and could increase side effects. Continuous use is required to maintain results. Consult your doctor if there’s no improvement after 4-6 months.

Common side effects include itching, excessive hair growth, rash, and dermatitis. Accidental application to other areas may cause unwanted hair growth. If contact with eyes, mouth, or broken skin occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Speak to your doctor if side effects persist or worsen.

Tugain 5% Gel is generally not recommended for individuals under 18 or over 65 years old. It may also be unsuitable for hair loss caused by medication (such as chemotherapy) or nutritional deficiencies. Avoid using this product if you have high blood pressure, use other scalp treatments, or have heart or circulation problems. Consult your doctor for further guidance.

How Tugain 5% Gel Works

Tugain 5% Gel works by opening potassium channels, which expands blood vessels and increases blood flow to the scalp. This process delivers more oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles, preventing cell death and encouraging new hair growth, effectively treating alopecia (hair loss).
