HI,
Thanks for writing in.
The minscalp gel is minoxidil 5% gel.
You should continue using it for atleast 1.5 to 2 years.
This would cover the natural hair cycle and give you long lasting effect.
Hope this helps.

Dear sir,
Well you need to use it for prolonged periods as if you stop using it you will lose all the hair that have regrown . It has to be continued at least till all your hair have grown .
