Overview
Vello-5 5%Topical Solution contains Minoxidil 5% w/v and is presented as a solution. It is supplied in a pack size of 60ml.
It is classified as a non-prescription medicine, so no prescription is needed to order it. Under Malaysian rules for medicine information, this page carries product, safety and handling information only.
You can consult a doctor or pharmacist online on DoctorOnCall about this product before or after you order. Every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is delivered. Always read the label and the leaflet supplied with the pack.
Directions for Use
Apply approximately 1 mL of Vello-5 solution directly onto a dry scalp in the affected area twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening, using the dropper or applicator provided. Spread evenly with fingertips and allow it to dry completely for a few minutes before styling hair or applying other scalp products. Wash hands thoroughly after each application to avoid unintended contact with the face, eyes, or other body areas.
Dosage
The standard recommended dose is 1 mL applied to the scalp twice daily, up to a maximum of 2 mL per day. Do not apply more than the recommended amount, as higher doses do not improve results and may increase the risk of side effects. Visible improvement typically takes at least 4 months of consistent daily use, and continued application is required to maintain results.
Shelf Life
Vello-5 5% Topical Solution is typically stable for up to 36 months from the date of manufacture when unopened and stored correctly. Always check the expiry date printed on the bottle and packaging before use, and avoid using the product beyond this date.
Storage Instructions
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and open flame, as the solution contains alcohol and is flammable. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use and out of reach of children and pets.
Side Effects
- Scalp irritation or itching
- Dryness or flaking of the scalp
- Unwanted hair growth on nearby areas (e.g., forehead or face)
- Dizziness or lightheadedness (especially in oral form)
- Rapid heartbeat
- Swelling in hands or feet (more common with oral use)
Contraindications
- Known hypersensitivity to minoxidil or any other ingredient in the solution
- Not for use on a scalp that is irritated, sunburnt, broken, infected, or has open wounds or abrasions
- Not intended for use in individuals with no family history of hair loss or sudden, patchy hair loss without a known cause
- Should not be used in children or adolescents under 18 years old
- Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless advised by a doctor
Drug / Food Interactions
- Avoid using other topical scalp medications or corticosteroids at the same time without medical advice, as this may increase skin absorption
- Concurrent use with other vasodilator medications may theoretically increase the risk of low blood pressure symptoms such as dizziness
- No significant food interactions are known with topical minoxidil use
Quick Tips
- Apply consistently at the same times each day for best results — missed applications can slow progress
- Allow the scalp to dry fully before bed to avoid transferring the solution to a pillow or bedding
- Do not shampoo the scalp immediately before or within a few hours after application
- Results take patience; most users need 4 to 6 months of continuous use before seeing noticeable regrowth
- Stopping treatment will gradually reverse any regrowth achieved, so long-term use is generally required to maintain results

Can I speak to a doctor or pharmacist about Vello-5 5%Topical Solution before I buy it?
Yes. DoctorOnCall offers online consultations with licensed doctors and registered pharmacists, so you can ask about this product, your existing medicines, or anything on the label before you place an order.
How should I store Vello-5 5%Topical Solution?
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and open flame, as the solution contains alcohol and is flammable. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use and out of reach of children and pets. Keep it in its original pack and do not use it after the expiry date printed on the packaging.
What should I do if I notice side effects after using Vello-5 5%Topical Solution?
Stop using the product and speak to a doctor or pharmacist about any reaction that concerns you. Seek medical care immediately for signs of a severe reaction such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips or throat, or a widespread rash. Reported reactions are listed in the Side Effects section on this page.
How long will delivery take?
Within Malaysia, standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. Same-day delivery is available in the Klang Valley for orders placed before 12pm; orders placed after 12pm arrive by the end of the next day.
Orders to Singapore are sent as international deliveries and take 5 to 9 working days. A lump-sum shipping and handling fee applies to every overseas delivery and is shown at checkout.
What payment methods can I use?
Customers in Malaysia can pay by FPX online banking, credit or debit card (Visa and Mastercard), and supported e-wallets including Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay and ShopeePay.
FPX and local e-wallets are tied to Malaysian bank and wallet accounts, so if your delivery address is in Singapore, use the payment options displayed at checkout for that address rather than assuming the same list applies.
Can Vello-5 5%Topical Solution be delivered to Singapore?
Yes. DoctorOnCall ships to Singapore as an international order dispatched from Malaysia, arriving in 5 to 9 working days with a lump-sum shipping and handling fee.
Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) allows personal imports of up to three months’ supply of a medicine for your own use or an immediate family member’s, as long as it contains no controlled drugs, psychotropic substances or prohibited items. Keep the product in its original labelled packaging and keep a copy of your prescription or doctor’s letter with it. Quantities above three months’ supply, and medicines containing controlled substances, require prior HSA approval.
Is Vello-5 5%Topical Solution registered with the authorities?
Products listed on DoctorOnCall are registered with Malaysia’s Ministry of Health for supply in Malaysia, and each pack carries its MAL registration number.
An order delivered to Singapore arrives as a personal import of a Malaysia-registered product; HSA product registration is not required for personal-use quantities, but it is also not the same as a product registered for sale in Singapore. If you need a locally registered Singapore product, buy it from a pharmacy in Singapore.
Who do I contact if there is a problem with my order?
DoctorOnCall’s customer care team handles order, delivery and product queries through the contact channels on the site, including WhatsApp and the online help centre.
For deliveries to Singapore, allow more time before chasing an order than you would for a local Malaysian delivery, as the parcel passes through customs clearance and tracking updates can appear later in the journey.
