What is DS Laboratories?
DS Laboratories sells both an FDA-registered OTC Minoxidil drug and cosmetic hair products. Spectral UHP Extra Strength is a Minoxidil 5% hair regrowth treatment under the OTC monograph, while its better-known Spectral.DNC-N and Revita lines use Nanoxidil®, a proprietary cosmetic ingredient that is not Minoxidil.
Because the lineup mixes a drug with cosmetics, the two types should not be confused: only Spectral UHP contains Minoxidil; the Nanoxidil® products are cosmetics and do not carry the OTC Minoxidil drug facts label.
