Special Warning : אזהרת שימוש

4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use
Before using Hairgain foam, the user should determine that the scalp is normal and healthy.
Topical minoxidil should not be applied to inflamed, infected, irritated or painful scalp skin (see section 4.3).
Topical minoxidil is not indicated when there is no family history of hair loss, hair loss is sudden and/or patchy, hair loss is due to childbirth, or the reason for hair loss is unknown.
The patient should stop using Hairgain foam and see a doctor if hypotension is detected or if the patient is experiencing chest pain, rapid heartbeat, faintness or dizziness, sudden unexplained weight gain, swollen hands or feet or persistent redness or irritation of the scalp or other unexpected new symptoms occur (see section 4.8).
Patients with known cardiovascular disease or cardiac arrhythmia should contact a physician before using Hairgain foam.

Some patients have experienced changes in hair colour and/or texture with this product use.
Hairgain foam is for external use only. Do not apply to areas of the body other than the scalp.
Using more than the recommended dose or more often will not improve results.
Unwanted hair growth may be caused by the transfer of the product to areas other than the scalp.
Hands should be washed thoroughly after applying the foam.

Some consumers reported increased hair shedding upon initiation of therapy with Hairgain foam. This is most likely due to minoxidil's action of shifting hairs from the resting telogen phase to the growing anagen phase (old hairs fall out as new hairs grow in their place). This temporary increase in hair shedding generally occurs two to six weeks after beginning treatment and subsides within a couple of weeks. If shedding persists (> 2 weeks), users should stop using Hairgain foam and consult their doctor.

Users should be aware that, whilst extensive use of Hairgain foam has not revealed evidence that sufficient minoxidil is absorbed to have systemic effects, greater absorption because of misuse, individual variability, unusual sensitivity or decreased integrity of the epidermal barrier caused by inflammation or disease processes in the skin (eg. excoriations of the scalp, or scalp psoriasis) could lead, at least theoretically, to systemic effects.

Accidental ingestion may cause serious cardiac adverse events. Therefore this product has to be kept out of the reach of children.

Hairgain foam contains ethanol (alcohol), which will cause burning and irritation of the eye.
In the event of accidental contact with sensitive surfaces (eye, abraded skin and mucous membranes) the area should be bathed with large amounts of cool tap water.

Hairgain foam also contains butylated hydroxytoluene, which may cause local skin reactions (e.g. contact dermatitis), or irritation to the eyes or mucous membranes, and cetyl and stearyl alcohol, which may cause local skin reactions (e.g. contact dermatitis)
