A Korea/Japan hair indication is not your bottle. Photograph; local rules win.
Approved means a regulator labelled an indication. Off-label means a clinician may still use a drug for another purpose with consent and monitoring. HairBase will not write your milligram. Related: oral-minoxidil-for-women and dutasteride-versus-finasteride — different URLs.
Do not import unmarked 5AR from a group buy. Pregnancy pictograms still apply. Do not double foam as an off-label substitute.
A reaction after an unmarked capsule is care and a poison centre, not a HairBase refund. This is not medical advice.
