What is Amazon Basic Care?
Amazon Basic Care is the private-label (store-brand) range sold by Amazon. Its Minoxidil products are OTC drug products that contain the same active ingredient, at the same labeled strengths, as national-brand OTC Minoxidil.
Store-brand Minoxidil is usually manufactured by a contract manufacturer and distributed under the retailer's name. The exact manufacturer, inactive ingredients and package sizes are listed on each product's Drug Facts label and DailyMed record.
Amazon has used both 'Amazon Basic Care' and 'Amazon Basics' naming on health products; the two are treated according to current packaging rather than assumed identical.
