Xandrox 5% day-time solution
Original Purpose or Use:
Minoxidil: Vasodilator -- used for high blood pressure.
Azaleic Acid: Acne treatment.
FDA Approved?
The ingredients are FDA approved. Xandrox itself is not.
Scientific Results:
While I am not aware of any studies pertaining specifically to Xandrox. There are quite a few studies on the active ingredients.
Observed Results:
Moderate regrowth in vertex/crown, hairline, and temple areas
Notes:
Combines minoxidil 5% and azaleic acid 5% in one solution. The azaleic acid is purported to be a potent DHT inhibitor. Xandrox, in my opinion, is better than regular minoxidil 5% solution.
Side Effects:
The azaleic acid can cause itchiness. The most common side-effect is irritation due to propylene glycol. Dr. Lee will compound it for you without propylene glycol if you experience this.
