Medicinal Benefits

Minokem N 5% Solution 90 ml contains Azelaic acid, Minoxidil and Tretinoin used to treat hair loss. Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring acid that blocks the action of a 5-alpha-reductase enzyme in the body that converts testosterone (male hormone) into dihydrotestosterone which causes hair loss. Thereby, it reduces dihydrotestosterone levels and slows down hair loss. Minoxidil is a vasodilator that widens the blood vessels and improves blood circulation to the hair follicles. Thus, it prevents hair loss and stimulates hair growth. Tretinoin is a form of vitamin A that promotes hair follicle growth on the scalp.
