Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

• Chekfall F spray/solution contains a combination of minoxidil and finasteride as active ingredients.
• Minoxidil stimulates the hair to enter the growing phase. It also widens the blood vessels on the scalp which increases blood circulation to hair follicles. This promotes follicle size increase which helps hair growth.
• Finasteride works by reducing the production of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). In males with a hereditary or premature risk for baldness, this hormone DHT is believed to bind to hair follicles and cause them to shrink, resulting in hair loss.

Directions for Use

• Use Chekfall F spray/solution only when the scalp or the hair is dry. There is no need to shampoo the hair before or after each application.
• Dropper applicator: Apply the advised amount of the solution to the affected area with the dropper provided. Rub with fingers gently and spread it evenly over the scalp.
• Spray applicator: Spray as advised over the entire scalp. Rub with fingers gently and spread it evenly over the scalp.
• Wash your hands after application.
• Ensure it does not trickle on the face as that can cause unwanted hair growth on the face.
• Avoid contact of your hands with the eyes, nose, and mouth. In case of accidental contact, wash the area immediately with water.
