Using more than the recommended dose or more frequently used will not improve the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Continued use is necessary to increase and maintain hair regrowth. Otherwise, the hair loss will return.\u00a0A temporary increase in hair rejection may occur at the beginning of the treatment, after 2-6 weeks.\u00a0If the hair rejection continues for more than two weeks, the treatment should be stopped.<br>Accidental intake of Minoxidil Orifarm\u00a0Forte\u00a0can lead to serious heart side effects.\u00a0Therefore, this product must be kept out of the reach of children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To reduce the risk of unwanted hair growth, ensure that Minoxidil Orifarm\u00a0Forte\u00a0is only applied to the scalp and wash your hands thoroughly each time Minoxidil Orifarm\u00a0Forte is\u00a0used (see section 4, Possible\u00a0side effects\u00a0).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Children And Young People<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Minoxidil Orifarm Forte is not

Minoxidil Orifarm Forte<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor if you are using other medicines on the skin, e.g.&nbsp;tretinoin, dithranol or betamethasone.&nbsp;These medicines may cause the skin to absorb more or less minoxidil (the active substance in Minoxidil Orifarm&nbsp;Forte&nbsp;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Minoxidil Orifarm Forte With Food And Drink<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use Minoxidil Orifarm&nbsp;Forte&nbsp;with food and drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy And Breastfeeding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Women should not use minoxidil Orifarm Forte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving And Using Machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Minoxidil Orifarm Forte may cause dizziness or low blood pressure.&nbsp;If you experience these side effects, do not drive or use machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are responsible for assessing whether you can drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharpened vigilance.\u00a0One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects or\u00a0side effects.\u00a0Descriptions of these effects and\u00a0side effects\u00a0can be found in other sections.\u00a0Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.\u00a0If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Minoxidil Orifarm Forte Contains Ethanol And Propylene Glycol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>This medicine contains 243 mg of alcohol (\u00a0ethanol\u00a0) per ml.\u00a0It can cause a burning sensation on damaged skin.<\/li><li>Flammability, use near open flames, cigarettes, or certain appliances (eg hairdryer) should be considered.<\/li><li>This medicine contains 520 mg of propylene glycol per ml.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Use Minoxidil Orifarm Forte<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Always use this medicine as described in this leaflet or as your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse has told you.\u00a0If unsure, talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.<\/li><li>Recommended dose\u00a0<ul><li>The hair must be completely dry before Minoxidil Orifarm Forte is applied, and the same applies to the scalp.\u00a0At 12-hour intervals (once in the morning and once in the evening), 1 ml is applied directly to the scalp and distributed over the entire surface to be treated.\u00a0Do not use more than 2 ml per day, and do not apply more often than twice daily (more frequent applications do not accelerate the effect).<\/li><li>Minoxidil Orifarm Forte should always be applied using the supplied spray pump.\u00a0Afterwards, the fingers are used to distribute Minoxidil Orifarm Forte on the scalp, and it is important to wash the hands.\u00a0In order not to affect the effect of Minoxidil Orifarm Forte, a silicone-free\u00a0shampoo\u00a0should be used for hair washing (silicone can also be called dimethicone).<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>To use Minoxidil Forte spray:<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Remove the screw cap of the bottle.<\/li><li>Insert the spray pump into the bottle and tighten it securely.<\/li><li>Mount the extended spray head on the spray pump.<\/li><li>After aiming the spray head at the centre of the surface to be treated, push in the pump plunger once and spread Minoxidil Orifarm Forte using your fingertips over the entire surface to be treated.\u00a0Perform this procedure 10 times to apply a\u00a0dose\u00a0ie 1 ml of the solution.<\/li><li>Wash your hands thoroughly afterwards.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Length of treatment time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because hair growth is slow, Minoxidil Orifarm Forte needs some time to work.\u00a0Continuous\u00a0use is usually required\u00a0twice daily for at least 2 months before the effect is noticeable.\u00a0In some cases, however, it may take longer.\u00a0If no effect is seen within 8 months, treatment should be discontinued.\u00a0For optimal effect, Minoxidil Orifarm\u00a0Forte\u00a0should be used every day.\u00a0If the treatment is stopped, the effect stops within 3 to 4 months, and the hair loss returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If You Forget To Use Minoxidil Orifarm Forte<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not take a double&nbsp;dose&nbsp;to make up for a forgotten&nbsp;dose.&nbsp;It is sufficient to resume treatment in the prescribed manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In case of misuse or special sensitivity, there may theoretically be a risk of general effects due to increased absorption through the skin.\u00a0In case of accidental oral administration, the most likely symptoms of overdose with Minoxidil Orifarm Forte are effects on the heart and\u00a0vessels,\u00a0such as increased heart rate (\u00a0pulse\u00a0), low\u00a0blood pressure,\u00a0and abnormal <a href=\"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/diseases\/fatigue-syndrome\/\">fatigue<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any further questions about the use of this product, ask your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Possible Minoxidil Orifarm Forte Side Effects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This medicine can cause side effects like all medicines, although not everybody gets them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A temporary increase in hair rejection may occur at the beginning of the treatment, after 2-6 weeks.\u00a0This is caused by the hair follicles changing from a dormant stage (old hair) to an active growing phase (new hair).\u00a0When this new growth starts, the old hair is detached from the scalp, which is expressed in hair loss.\u00a0If hair rejection continues for more than 2 weeks, treatment should be stopped, and a doctor should be consulted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stop taking Minoxidil Orifarm Forte and contact a doctor immediately if you have any of the following symptoms &#8211; you may need immediate medical attention.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Swelling of the face, lips or throat that makes it
