Generolone is a drug intended for the treatment of androgenic alopecia in both sexes. Being absorbed into the skin, generolon restores microcirculation.
Under the action of the drug, hair cells pass into the active phase of growth, the effect of androgens on the hair follicles weakens. As a result, hair begins to grow faster, less fall out.
Produced by generolone Croatian pharmaceutical company "Belupo".
Composition and benefits
For those who want to get a faster and more noticeable effect, it is better to choose a spray with a high content of Minoxidil. The composition of the agent is complemented with auxiliary substances: ethanol, propylene glycol, water.
Note, The preparation is packed in a plastic bottle, there is a removable sprayer. It is convenient to apply the spray, thanks to the elongated tip, the spray agent is strictly on a specific area.
The advantages of the drug are:
- stop vegetation loss,
- increased hair growth
- strengthening the roots
- extension of the "life" of the hair,
- hair shaft thickening.
Features of therapeutic effects
According to reviews trichologists, "Generolon" has an impact on hair follicles. Minoxidil contained in it helps to improve the blood circulation in the area of impact (meaning the scalp) and the supply of blood to the follicles, as a result of which they become active and enter into the active phase, and the hair begins to grow. In addition, thanks to the active component, the very effect of androgens on the follicles changes, and protection against them is built up. Finally, there is an indirect reduction in the formation of 5-alpha reductase, that is, the enzyme that causes the negative effect of endrogens on the hair follicles. This is confirmed by the spray "Generolon" instruction.
Regarding the absorption of the components of the drug through the skin, we can say that it is minimized. From one to three substances enter the systemic circulation (if there is no damage to the epidermis). However, given the small volume of a single dose, you can judge the safety of the drug. In addition, all components trapped in the blood, do not accumulate and very quickly removed from the patient's body.
During the fight with the onset of hair loss, you need to pay attention to those shampoos that are commonly used. Not everyone is aware that ninety-four percent of shampoos contain such chemical elements that are harmful to both the hair and the scalp. But people often do not realize this and use them daily.
If suddenly such ingredients as coco sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, sodium lauryl sulfate are found in the shampoo, such cosmetics should be discarded. These substances are the main provocateurs of all sorts of diseases of the scalp, subsequently causing baldness. This is confirmed by reviews trichologists. Contraindications "Generolona" consider below.
Possible side effects
Most often, the means "Generolon", according to reviews trichologists, well tolerated, but certain side effects may occur:
- itching, burning, and discomfort in the area where the spray was applied,
- excessive peeling and dryness of the treated areas of the scalp,
- puffiness and redness,
- the appearance of bubbles (this is rare, mainly due to the high sensitivity of the epidermis),
- seborrhea (the formation of scales on the upper layer of the scalp),
- unwanted appearance of body hair (for example, on the face),
- if the product gets into other areas of the body, allergic reactions may occur (edema or urticaria),
- if the spray accidentally gets inside the body, symptoms such as shortness of breath, nausea, various heart rhythm disturbances, chest pain, large swelling, dizziness, changes in blood pressure, etc. may occur.
The effect of the application
According to the reviews and studies of the spray “Generolon Belupo”, the necessary effect is not immediately apparent. There will be no noticeable changes a month after its constant use on a regular basis. The first positive changes will be noticeable only at the end of the third or even fourth month, due to the duration of the hair growth phase. This is the amount of time needed by the follicles in order to activate and move from the resting to the active phase.
This transition will also be accompanied by the elimination of old, weakened hair, and this is normal, since in this way there is room for new growth. That is why during the first weeks (from five to ten) their loss may increase. To panic in this case is not worth it, because much more healthy new hair will appear instead of dropped out.
Duration of effect
Regarding the duration of the effect, we can talk about maintaining it for four to six months. After this, the previous condition may return, especially if the cause of the alopecia is not eliminated, and no other means are used.
Especially effective drug "Generolon", according to reviews trichologists, with therapy in the early stages, as well as in young patients.

"Generolon". Reviews trichologists
Trichologists say that this drug is best taken as a component of complex therapy, which also includes shampoos and balms that contribute to the overall strengthening of the hair structure, as well as head massage. Experts warn that in the beginning, when using the spray “Generolon”, often, although not in all cases, the hair may begin to fall out even more intensively than it was before the procedure. However, this process is normal. It should not be a cause for concern, since healthy new hair will appear on the site of the lost.
Patient reviews are mixed. Both satisfactory results are noted, as well as dissatisfaction with the fact that therapy is of a long-term nature without a noticeable effect over a long time. In addition, a number of patients showed allergic reactions to the composition of the drug, as a result of which the treatment had to be stopped.
The drug costs from 400 to 500 rubles. It depends on the region, as well as on the pharmacy chain.
In this article, the instructions of "Generolon" on hair loss, description, price and reviews of the preparation of both specialists and users were reviewed.
What is Generolon?
Generolone is a drug developed for the treatment of androgenic alopecia, i.e., genetically determined baldness in men and women. It is believed that with other types of disease (caused by other reasons), it is ineffective. Available in the form of a spray with a concentration of the active substance in 2 and 5%. The tool is presented in a white bottle in a volume of 60 ml. The package additionally contains a measuring pump equipped with a spray.
The composition of Generolon includes, of course, minoxidil (200 or 500 mg), as well as additional substances - ethanol and propylene glycol. You can buy it in pharmacies without a prescription, and the price is available to a wide range of people.
Bald head
The action of this tool is based on strengthening in the area of blood circulation, which activates the hair follicles. In addition, the drug changes the sensitivity of receptors to androgen hormones, i.e., it slows down the process of hereditary baldness. It should, however, be remembered that such an effect is observed only during regular use of the drug. The termination of drawing entails gradual cancellation of the received effect.
Judging by the reviews of the spray Generolon from hair loss, its main properties are:
- improved blood flow
- activation of "sleeping" follicles,
- protection from the effects of androgen hormones,
- decreased production of 5-alpha reductase - an enzyme that negatively affects hair follicles.
The result of using the tool will be new hairs on the bald spot, after about 4 months. After some time, they will begin to darken and grow more and more. A good effect will be noticeable on average after 6–8 months. Much depends on the individual characteristics of a person.
For beard growth
Similar effect Generolon has on the growth of hair on the face. A man who wants to grow a thick beard faster can spray the aerosol on the necessary zones (only bald spots in the bristles or the whole area). Thanks to regular use, a noticeable result will appear after 5–6 weeks.
How to choose minoxidil concentration?
The concentration of the active substance - Minoxidil - directly affects the result of the drug. Generolon has two options - 2 and 5%. The first is usually recommended to use women, because this amount of the main ingredient is often enough to treat baldness in the fair sex. As a rule, they acquire this drug to regain the density of curls after pregnancy and childbirth. Most often, it is failures at the hormonal level that cause increased hair loss.
Generolone 5% is common among men. However, if you decide to grow a beard, it is better to start with a 2% concentration to check the tolerance of the active substances.
Instructions for use Generolona
Each package must contain instructions for use Generolona. Regarding the use, everything is very simple - spray twice a day applied to problem areas. In men, bald patches are usually formed on the crown and on the frontal part of the head. Women - in the middle parting.
The tool is equipped with a convenient dispenser and spray, with which and need to distribute the solution. It takes only seven taps. For reference, the daily dose is 2 ml, that is, 1 ml at a time. Too much substance can cause side effects. It is better to start from the center of the problem area, and then you can rub the drug on the skin at will. Flush the solution is not necessary. After application, be sure to wash your hands.
Special recommendations
To make the application more effective and eliminate a lot of side effects will help follow a number of rules:
- do not apply the solution to areas other than problem areas,
- gently distribute the tool without getting on the mucous membranes (especially the eyes),
- apply the spray only on dry and clean skin,
- do not wash your hair / do not wash your face for 3-4 hours after applying the composition,
- increase the concentration, if after 3-4 months there is no visible effect (in case of starting treatment with 2%),
- be examined by a doctor to make sure that hair loss is not caused by any other reasons.
Comparison with analogues
Since many similar baldness medicines are now on the market, the question often arises as to which is better, Generolon or Alerana, or Minoxidil, and the like. Here it is necessary to understand in more detail how they differ.
It should be said that the original Minoxidil-based drug is Regein. The American manufacturer was the first to release such a drug, which is presented in the form of a spray and foam. It is the highest in cost and difficult to acquire, since it can be done only on the site for English-speaking users.
Minokisdil from Kirkland Signature is considered to be equally effective, but more affordable. The solution and the foam are also designed for a 2% and 5% concentration of the main substance. About this tool there are many positive reviews, which does not reduce its popularity among users. You can also purchase it only on the Internet on the official website:
Alerana is a Russian analogue, which is available in the form of a spray with common 2 and 5% concentrations of minoxidil. It is much cheaper than the two companies mentioned above and is freely sold in a pharmacy, as is Generolon. The latter, by the way, comes at the price of the cheapest equivalent (only Revasil has a lower cost).
With the existing variety of similar means it is difficult to guess with the one that is more suitable for you. Products differ only in formula (the composition is almost identical), so when choosing, it is better to rely on the opinions of people and the opinion of the doctor, as a rule, a trichologist.

Generolon: trichologist review

Reviews of women and men about Generolon
Bardina EI, 29 years old
For several years in a row, I actively dyed my hair, as a result of which my condition worsened greatly, and the hairdresser advised me to completely abandon the dyeing procedure in order not to lose the remnants of my hair. I was naturally upset, but then pulled myself together and began to search for means to strengthen the hair. My choice fell on the drug Generolon. This tool was cheap compared to salon procedures for hair restoration. She used the drug for a very long time (about six months), and the first noticeable effect appeared after a couple of months. In general, the result is satisfied, the hair was restored.
I purchased Generolon for my mother, the treatment has not yet been completed, but the result is noticeable. Mom has been using for 4 months, her hair has become stronger. True, in the first weeks after the start of treatment, the hair began to climb even more, they thought to quit, but the doctor said that this was normal. For its price, this drug is very effective.
The hair began to fall out six months ago, went for a consultation to the trichologist, he prescribed me Genololon. I use it for the third month, hairs have already appeared on the bald spot. I hope that the drug will be effective.
Ivanov S., 42 years old
He began to use Generolon on the advice of a doctor. The effect of the drug, of course. After several weeks of use, I noticed that a light down appeared on my head, in the places of bald patches. However, the use of the drug had to be stopped due to a severe allergic reaction. An itch appeared on the skin due to Generolon, then wounds. In general, the drug did not fit me.
Milkova I., 46 years old
Generolon - an excellent remedy for baldness. Faced with the problem of balding, immediately drew attention to it, and did not regret it. Generolon is inexpensive, but gives a good effect. Now I advise him to everyone!
Use in children
The drug is allowed to use only from the age of 18 years, respectively, spray Generolon is contraindicated for the treatment of children's hair loss. In addition, the manufacturer notes that the drug should be stored in a safe place away from children.
Analog is a drug with a similar composition (copy) or principle of action (synonym). For Geneolon spray, all agents that contain the substance Minoxidil, the eponymous agent Minoxidil, Cosilon, Alopexy, Revasil, as well as the relatively new Aleran spray, are considered analogues.
The cost of the drug due to the composition, manufacturer, as well as the volume and concentration of the vial. If we consider the spray Generolon 2% concentration in a vial with a volume of 20 mg, its cost is 513-526 rubles, for a bottle of 50 mg and a concentration of 5% minoxidil the price will be 638-647 rubles.
Baldness is a serious problem of a modern person, which requires timely examination, study by specialists, as well as complex multi-stage treatment. Spray Generolon is suitable for local treatment, minoxidil in its composition provides a complete blood supply to the scalp, nutrition of hair follicles, which stimulates hair growth and strengthens them from the inside. It is only important to use the drug strictly according to the instructions, taking into account contraindications and optimal dosages.
The composition of the spray
The main active ingredient of Generolon is minoxidil. His spray contains 20 or 50 milligrams, depending on the concentration. The substance acts on the scalp in such a way that the vessels dilate, with the result that the hair follicles are better supplied with blood. Because of this, the growth of new curls is activated. In addition, minoxidil in the composition of the spray Generolon for hair helps to slow down or even stop their loss.
In addition to the main active ingredient in the tool contains auxiliary substances. These include a 96 percent ethanol alcohol solution, propylene glycol and plain water. These substances do not affect the growth of hair or stop their loss, they are only responsible for the consistency of the spray.
Manufacturers say that the drug is practically not absorbed through the skin into the blood. The proportion of what can still get into the body when spray applied to the scalp is minimal. She is only 3 percent. This makes Generolone safe for health.
Does it really help for hair growth, from falling out
Spray copes with androgenic type of baldness, which is also called "the male type." This is due to the fact that the body increases the amount of certain hormones. Alopecia is called androgenic, because it increases the level of those that are considered masculine. These hormones include testosterone and dihydrotestosterone.
Similar baldness occurs in both sexes. It is usually expressed in hair loss at the temples and in the parietal part of the head. In women, baldness has a slightly different shape: at first, parting thins out, then the temporal parts of the hair are affected. Spray Generolon was developed by experts specifically to solve this problem, which is stated in the instructions for use.
Therefore, you should not count on the fact that the tool will be a panacea for all ills. Spray Generolon for hair is unlikely to help those from whom they fall because of fragility or because of pathologies of internal organs.
The drug effectively helps to deal with androgenic alopecia as follows:
- thanks to the active substance Minoxidil, blood flow improves at the site of exposure,
- spray helps block the harmful effects of androgens on hair follicles,
- significantly reduces the body's activity in the production of 5-alpha reductase, which is the main culprit baldness.
With regard to the use of the drug for the treatment of androgenic alopecia, the visible result will appear only after a long period of its regular use. The instructions for use of spray Spray Generol said that hair growth occurs at least four months after its daily use. In addition, it is important to apply the product on the curls twice a day.
Such a long wait for a visible result is due to the fact that the hair takes quite a long time to grow. Approximately during such a period, the follicle transitions from the resting phase to active growth. In addition, after the first few uses of Geneolon spray, it may seem that the opposite hair began to fall even more. But do not worry, because it is the norm. After all, old and weak hair should give way to new and young.
How to apply for women and men
The method of spraying hair on the hair is not particularly different for different genders. Spray Generalo for hair is not exclusively male, it can be used by women. The only thing that will differ when applied is localization. As a rule, for women, hair falls out more strongly in the parting area, and for men - at the back of the head. The rest of the mechanism for applying Generolon is no different and includes the following main points:
- Fill the dispenser with the product.. If you get the spray out of the package, you will notice that the measuring pump and the nozzle are separate. It is necessary to open the tool by removing the cover. After installing the pump and dispenser on the bottle. Make four clicks so that the agent gets into the pump tank.
- Spray on the skin of the head. Application of Generolon should begin with the central part, where there is alopecia. Rub the tool in the head is not required. There is also no need to flush it.
- After the procedure, wash your hands.
It is important to comply not only with the technique of how to apply Geneolon spray, but also not to violate the recommended dosage. On the day, it is necessary to conduct a treatment session with a remedy twice, not exceeding the amount of 1 ml, or 7 taps per procedure.
Recommendations for use
To spray Generolon had a beneficial effect on the scalp, it is important to adhere to some additional rules:
- means should be applied exclusively on the affected areas,
- Avoid contact with mucous membranes, otherwise rinse immediately with water,
- If there is no positive effect from the use of a two-percent solution, it is recommended to try increasing the concentration and using a 5% remedy,

A solution with 20 mg of minoxidil has a less mild effect than a product with a content of 50 mg of the active substance. The maximum effect is achieved if:
- the disease is not more than 10 years
- young patients use the spray
- baldness in the crown is not more than 10 cm,
- In the center of the bald patch there are more than 100 terminal and downy hairs.
If you stop using the medicine, the growth of the new hairline will stop, and over the course of 3-4 months the original appearance will fully recover. The specific mechanism of action of a medical solution with the effective treatment of androgenic alopecia is unknown. The active substance Minoxidil does not work with complete baldness, which was caused by:
- taking certain medications
- violation of the diet (with a deficiency of vitamins A, iron),
- as a result of the constant styling in the "tight" hairstyle.
If the remedy is applied externally, it is poorly absorbed through intact normal skin, only 1.5% of the entire dose enters the bloodstream. What influence on the degree of absorption of the main component of other associated skin pathologies is unknown. After discontinuation of the medication, 95% of the main substance entering into its composition and entering the circulatory system is eliminated for 4 days. Pharmacokinetics:
- Minoxidil is excreted by the kidneys,
- does not bind to plasma proteins
- does not penetrate the blood-brain barrier.
