4.2   Posology and method of administration
Women aged 18-65:

Hair and scalp should be thoroughly dry prior to topical application of Minoxi 2.
A dose of 1 ml Minoxi 2 cutaneous solution should be applied to the total affected areas of the scalp twice daily. The total dosage should not exceed 2 ml. If fingertips are used to facilitate drug application, hands should be washed afterwards.

It may take twice daily applications for four months or more before evidence of hair growth can be expected.

If hair re-growth occurs, twice daily applications of Minoxi 2 are necessary for continued hair growth. Anecdotal reports indicate that re- grown hair may disappear three to four months after stopping minoxidil application and the balding process will continue.

Users should discontinue treatment if there is no improvement after one year.

Special Populations
There are no specific recommendations for use in patients with renal or hepatic impairment.

Paediatric and Elderly Populations
Not recommended. The safety and effectiveness of minoxidil in children and adolescents below the age of 18 years or adults over the age of 65 years has not been established.

Method of administration
For topical use only.

The method of application varies according to the disposable applicator used: Aim the pump at the centre of the bald area, press once and spread with fingertips over the entire bald area. Repeat for a total of 7 times to apply a dose of 1 ml. Avoid breathing spray mist.
