Hi Doc,

Could you give me some information on Aminexil Force R capsules? What is aminexil?

Hiya!

Aminexil Force R is a relatively new topical hair loss product produced under the L’Oreal group. Aminexil,, 2,4-Diamino pyrimidine-3-oxide, is a derivative of Minoxidil.

Minoxidil

minoxidil

 

Amenixil

kopexil

 

It has been marketed as having the same positive effects as  Minoxidil, i.e. hair growth, without the side effects. It is also claimed to help prevent fibrosis or scarring around the hair follicles which can be seen in late stage Androgenetic Alopecia. There has only been a few studies done on the efficacy of this molecule. Therefore, it has not been rigorously examined when compared to Minoxidil.

Is it worth trying? Only if you have already exhausted available topical and oral options.
