Information about Tugain 5% Foam

Description:

Tugain 5% Foam belongs to a class of drugs known as vasodilators. It is used to promote hair growth in men with male pattern baldness.

Tugain 5% Foam should only be applied directly to the scalp in the amount and manner indicated on the label or by your doctor. Before applying it, ensure that your scalp is clean and dry. It may take 2–4 months to detect any hair growth. The initial growth may be delicate, colourless, and hardly apparent. Using more than suggested will not result in faster hair growth and may raise the risk of negative effects. To maintain hair growth, this medicine must be used on a constant basis. Inform your doctor if your condition does not improve or worsens after using it for 4 to 6 months.

Tugain 5% Foam should not be used by anybody under 18 or above the age of 65. It may also be inappropriate if your hair loss is the result of medicine (such as chemotherapy) or a nutritional deficiency. You should also avoid using this medication if you have high blood pressure or are using other creams or lotions to treat other scalp issues. Consult your doctor if you have heart disease or blood circulation issues.

How it works:

Tugain 5% Foam 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).
