Half a capful, twice a day, worked in with the\nfingertips.

Results generally appear at two months with twice-daily use, and\nsome men need a full four months. Hair regrowth varies, and it does not work for every man.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContinued use maintains what you regrow.

In a review of poison-control cases, the most common route was transfer from the owner's own treated skin or bedding, and around one in eight affected cats died. A cat that brushes against a treated scalp, sleeps on the pillowcase or licks a sleeve can take in enough to be poisoned. Keep cats away from the treated area until it is completely dry, wash your hands straight after applying, and wash pillowcases and towels separately. If your cat is exposed, treat it as an emergency and call a vet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf there is a baby or a small child in the house.\u003c\/strong\u003e Cases of unwanted hair growth have been reported in infants after skin contact with an adult using topical minoxidil, including through shared bedding and clothing rather than direct application. Let it dry completely before you hold a child, wash your hands straight afterwards, keep treated bedding and towels away from them, and do not let a child touch the treated area. The effect reverses once the exposure stops, but it is worth avoiding in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eStore at 20 to 25 degrees Celsius.
