Uses
Minoxidil solution and foam are used to help hair growth in the treatment of male pattern baldness. It is not used for baldness at the front of the scalp or receding hairline in men. The foam and 2 percent minoxidil solution is also used to help hair growth in women with thinning hair.

Minoxidil belongs to a class of drugs known as vasodilators. It is not known how minoxidil causes hair growth. This medication is not used for sudden/patchy hair loss, unexplained hair loss (e.g., no family history of hair loss), or hair loss after giving birth.
Homeopaths also prescribe lycopodium liberally for premature balding. Pregnant women and post- delivery, women who suffer a lot from hair loss have been using this medicine successfully. This medicine is equally effective for men also. Low esteemed people who desire a good hair growth benefit a lot from this medicine.
