General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Tugain 5 contains 'minoxidil 5%', which is known to be an effective medication to prevent hair loss and stimulate hair follicles promoting growth of new hairs.
However, it does not yield results instantaneously. You need to use it regularly for about 3 to 6 months to see the results effectively. However, even after that, you need to continue its use for about 3 to 5 years for obtaining desired effects.
The other medications what you are using would help to control your dandruff effectively.
Kindly use the combination of these medications regularly to obtain proper results.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
