If your hair is thinning or isn't as lush as it used to be, you aren't alone. Male pattern baldness, a form of androgenetic alopecia, is the most common type of hair loss in men and impacts one in two men by the age of 40. If you have male pattern baldness, there's a 25% chance that you started noticing signs before the age of 21. That percentage shoots up to 66% by age 35. By age 50, almost 85% of men will have significantly thinner hair or noticeable changes to their hairline.¹ If you're experiencing hair loss or want to protect your hairline, it's important to start treatment as soon as possible. With Cue, it's easy to get treatment delivered quickly and discreetly right at home.

Minoxidil shortens the resting period of your hair to promote growth and slow baldness.

The information packet that comes with your treatment will come with instructions. Generally, minoxidil is a topical solution applied to the scalp twice per day. Minoxodil starts working in 2 to 4 months, but may take up to 1 year before you see results. If you stop using minoxidil, most new hair will be lost within a few months.

5% topical solution minoxidil is FDA-approved for use by men only.

For external use only. Flammable: Keep away from fire or flame.

Do not use minoxidil if:
• you are a woman
• your hair loss is on the front of the scalp; 5% minoxidil topical solution is not intended for frontal baldness or receding hairline
• you have no family history of hair loss
• your hair loss is sudden and/or patchy
• you do not know the reason for your hair loss
• you are under 18 years of age. Do not use on babies and children.
• your scalp is red, inflamed, infected, irritated, or painful
• you use other medicines on the scalp

Talk to a healthcare provider before use if you have heart disease. Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

Minoxidil Topical Solution will not prevent or improve hair loss which may occur with the use of some prescription and non-prescription medications, certain severe nutritional problems (very low body iron; excessive vitamin A intake), low thyroid states (hypothyroidism), chemotherapy, or diseases which cause scarring of the scalp. Also, Minoxidil Topical Solution will not improve hair loss due to:
• damage from the use of hair care products which cause scarring or deep burns of the scalp
• hair grooming methods such as cornrowing or ponytails which require pulling the hair tightly back from the scalp

When using this product:
• do not apply on other parts of the body
• avoid contact with the eyes. In case of accidental contact, rinse eyes with large amounts of cool tap water
• do not use more or more often than directed. Doing so will not improve your results

Minoxidil can cause serious side effects. Stop using minoxidil and tell your doctor if you notice any of the following:
• chest pain, rapid heartbeat, faintness, or dizziness occurs
• sudden, unexplained weight gain occurs
• your hands or feet swell
• scalp irritation or redness occurs
• unwanted facial hair growth occurs
• you do not see hair regrowth in 4 months

The most common side effects are itching and other skin irritations of the treated area of the scalp. Minoxidil Topical Solution contains alcohol, which would cause burning or irritation of the eyes or sensitive skin areas. If Minoxidil Topical Solution accidentally gets into these areas, rinse with large amounts of cool tap water. Contact your doctor if irritation persists.

INDICATION
Minoxidil is used as a long-term treatment to regrow hair on the top of the scalp (vertex only). Minoxidil is not a cure for baldness, but in some men it can improve hair regrowth. However, exactly how minoxidil works is not known.
