Side effects

Topical melatonin has a very low side effect profile because systemic absorption from the scalp is negligible. Most women use it without any issues at all.

Common (roughly 1 in 10)

  • Mild transient scalp itching immediately after application

Uncommon (roughly 1 in 100)

  • Contact dermatitis or dryness at the application site

Rare (less than 1 in 1,000)

  • Localised skin discolouration (usually resolves on stopping)

When to seek urgent medical advice

  • Signs of allergic reaction: facial or lip swelling, difficulty breathing, rash

Topical melatonin does not cause drowsiness because scalp application does not produce meaningful blood levels. Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to limited safety data in these populations.

Frequently asked questions

What is MELASOL and how does it work?+

MELASOL is a topical melatonin solution primarily used for female pattern hair loss. Topical melatonin acts on the follicle as a mild anti-androgen, blocking DHT activity through a different pathway to spironolactone, with the added benefit of significant local antioxidant activity. That makes it a useful option for women who cannot tolerate spironolactone or want a different DHT-blocking approach.

Is MELASOL suitable for all women?+

MELASOL is designed for women experiencing diffuse hair thinning or early female pattern hair loss.

Does topical melatonin cause drowsiness?+

No, topical melatonin applied to the scalp has negligible systemic absorption and does not cause drowsiness.

Can I use MELASOL with other treatments?+

Yes, MELASOL can be combined with topical minoxidil, topical spironolactone, or other treatments.

How does MELASOL compare to SPIROSOL?+

Both are DHT-blocking topicals for female hair loss but through different mechanisms. SPIROSOL (spironolactone) blocks androgen receptors directly and has more evidence but a sulphur smell. MELASOL (melatonin) acts more subtly on androgen activity and adds antioxidant benefit, without smell or systemic hormonal effects. Some women use both together at prescriber discretion.

How do I apply MELASOL?+

Apply 1ml to affected areas of the scalp once daily in the evening. Massage in gently and leave to dry. Do not rinse off. Wash hands after.

How long does MELASOL take to work?+

Reduced shedding is often the first sign, typically within 2-3 months. Visible thickening and regrowth is judged at 4-6 months, with full effect at 12 months of consistent nightly use.

Can I return this item?+

Prescription and custom-compounded medicines cannot be returned once dispensed under UK pharmacy regulations. Non-prescription items may be returned within 14 days if unused and in their original packaging. See our returns policy at hairrepairclinic.co.uk/returns-policy for full details.
