- <p><strong>How and when to use REGAINE®</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>REGAINE® must only be applied when the hair and scalp are completely dry.</li>
<li>You should continue to use REGAINE® as directed by your pharmacist or doctor. Once REGAINE® is stopped, the appearance of your hair will return to how it was before you started to use REGAINE®.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Directions For Use:</strong></p>
<p>For topical use only. The hair and scalp should be thoroughly dry prior to topical application.</p>
<p>Apply one dose (1 mL) of REGAINE® to the hair loss area of your scalp two times a day, preferably morning and night.</p>
<p>Massage the solution lightly into your scalp, and wash your hands well afterwards. Unwanted hair growth may be caused by the transfer of the product to areas other than the scalp. This dose should be used no matter what the size of the bald spot is. More frequent use or larger doses have not been shown to speed up hair growth and may increase your chances of side effects.</p>
<p>It has been shown that twice daily use of REGAINE® may be required for at least four months before you will see the evidence of cosmetically acceptable hair growth.</p>
<p>Response to treatment with REGAINE® may vary widely, and some patients may see faster results than others. Make sure the scalp is dry and that the skin is healthy and intact.</p>
<p>The method of application varies according to the disposable applicator used, as indicated below.</p>
