Description
X-pecia Pro 5% Gel is a combination of Minoxidil and Finasteride. It is used in the treatment of male pattern baldness (hair loss on the scalp in men). It improves blood circulation to the hair follicles, nourishes them, and prevents further hair fall. Thus, it allows the regrowth of healthy, thick, and long hair.
X-pecia Pro 5% Gel shows some side effects like redness/dryness/ itching/irritation at the site of application, and excess facial hair growth. If these side effects persist for a long time, consult your doctor. Do not use this medicine if you are allergic to it.
X-pecia Pro 5% Gel is meant for application on the scalp only. Clean and dry the scalp before application. Apply it on the hair loss area of the scalp as instructed by your doctor. Allow it to dry naturally and do not use a dryer as it reduces the effectiveness of the medicine. Avoid contact with your eyes, mouth, nose, broken skin, etc. You may observe hair growth within four months to one year. Consult your doctor if you do not see any change even after applying it for six months.
X-pecia Pro 5% Gel is not recommended for use in children below 18 years, women, and the elderly as the safety and efficacy data for use are not available. Use this medicine with caution if you have altered blood pressure or heart problems. Inform your doctor if you have any other medical conditions or taking any other medicines.

How it works
X-pecia Pro 5% Gel is a combination of Minoxidil and Finasteride.
Minoxidil widens the blood vessels and provides better blood flow to the hair follicles.
Finasteride blocks the production of a male hormone in the scalp that stops hair growth. Thus it increases hair regrowth and prevents hair loss.
