Abstract
This invention relates to a method of applying a cationic derivative of Minoxidil which is transported by means of iontophoresis to hair follicles where the cationic derivatives promote hair growth. Each of the cationic derivatives of Minoxidil are synthesized by reacting the Minoxidil parent compound with an organic or an inorganic acid to form the cationic derivative.
