Suggest Treatment For Severe Hair Fall
Hi I m 25 years old and I m a female. I m having much hairfall from the past 4-5 years especially on the crown part. Now my doctor prescribed me for mintop forte 5%. So being a female should I use 5% or how to use it ? Now I m using it once at night. Is it correct?

Hello Madam,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern about the hair fall.
Mintop Forte contains ingredient minoxidil. It is considered a vasodilator type of medication. The 5% solution is used to stimulate hair regrowth and to slow hair loss.
You need to apply it twice daily in the morning and at night. It takes about 3 to 4 months to control your hair loss and about 6 months to 1 year for new hair growth to appear. Hence long term regular use is necessary for this medication to be effective.
Hope the information provided would be useful.
All the best.
