Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Synergy Rx is voluntarily recalling all strengths of Minoxidil, including 2% and 5%, as well as Minoxidil/Retinoic Acid 5%/0.025 products. The recall covers all lots of these products distributed nationwide within the United States.
