Is It Safe To Take MX 5 Lotion For Hair Loss?
Hi Dr, My doctor suggested me to use MX 5 lotion twice a day for hair loss. My father has baldness, So I was worried about it. Now, am trying to find if this lotion would help or nowt. She said initially, hairfall might be more but later will be in control and 20% hair growth will be there. Also she suggested me not to apply hair oil.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You can use mx5 lotion, it's a minoxidil lotion. It slows down the process of baldness.
It contains alcohol as preservative, which will flare dandruff, so usually advised not to apply hair oil after head bath.
Yes, in few clients, minoxidil induced hair fall would be there, you can ignore it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sandeep Golla
