Tugain 10% is a high-strength topical solution containing Minoxidil 10%, developed by Cipla Ltd., for the management of androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness). It is recommended for men with advanced hair thinning requiring a stronger concentration than standard 5% solutions.

By improving blood circulation to hair follicles, Tugain 10% stimulates regrowth, prolongs the anagen (growth) phase, and helps maintain a fuller scalp. This high concentration is not recommended for women due to higher risks of side effects.

• Stimulates Hair Regrowth: Reactivates dormant follicles for thicker, denser hair.
• Prolongs Anagen Phase: Reduces excessive shedding by extending growth cycle.
• Enhances Scalp Circulation: Improves nutrient and oxygen delivery to follicles.

• Vasodilation effect: Minoxidil widens scalp blood vessels.
• Revives shrinking follicles: Supports new hair production.
• Stronger effect: Higher 10% concentration delivers more potent regrowth, but may increase mild scalp irritation.

• Apply 1ml directly to scalp twice daily (morning & evening).
• Massage gently into affected areas for absorption.
• Allow scalp to dry before applying other products.
• Wash hands after use to avoid unwanted hair growth elsewhere.
• Continuous use for 3–6 months needed for visible results.
