Medicinal Benefits:

Tugain 5% Foam is a vasodilator that treats alopecia (hair loss). It stimulates hair growth and prevents baldness. Tugain 5% Foam opens potassium channels and widens the blood vessels to increase the blood flow. This vasodilation process promotes blood flow to the hair follicles, providing sufficient nutrition and oxygen to the hair cell. This process of supplying oxygen and nutrients to the hair cell prevents its death and stimulates hair growth.
