How Effective Is Mintop In Treatment Of Hair Fall?
Question: Hi,
I am a 25 yrs male suffering from hair loss for last 5-6 yrs. Tried Dr. Batra last year for addressing this. Though hair fall decreased when I was in medication, it did not go away. There is no hereditary issues with the hair loss as I cant see this problem with my parents/grand parents. I have been trying various things to control it now (like onion juice, biotin etc).
I got to know about a medicine, Mintop (Minoxidil Topical solution) which is being used by my friend for last 6 months and has showed a significant effect on him (he was even able to get some of the hairs back).
My question is should I try using this? And which composition should I consume, 2%, 5% or 10%? Is it ok to mix this with the other things like onion juice/biotin on alternate days?

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX, welcome to hcm and thanks for choosing us.
I share your concerns as you have to suffer hair loss even when you don't have any hereditary history of baldness. Health of hairs depends on several factors like hereditary, nutritional status, scalp skin health (free from any infection), day to day stress, water you use for bathing etc. You have observed reduced hair fall when you took treatment from Batra clinic, so you keep following that treatment. 10 to 20 hairs fall per day is natural. it will never be zero.
Mintop solution is standard treatment for hair fall. Strength of solution will depend on severity of problem. Meet a skin expert for this and get it prescribed. However it is always good to use lesser strength solutions. You can keep trying your natural methods along with medications.
Improve your nutrition by giving more attention towards vitamins and minerals. Try to reduce your stress levels if any by exercises, recreational activities, meditations, yoga, take care of scalp skin.
I hope my reply will help you. Please feel free to contact us for follow up queries. I wish you good health.
