Should Mintop 2% Need To Used Everyday For Arresting Hair Fall?
Hi there I have been suffering from hair fall since 7 years. My hair volume had reduced to one fourth of what it used to be. Have got my Hb checked and reportedly have anemia with Hb level down to 8.7. I have recently visited a dermatologist and have been prescribed for some dietary supplements containing iron and folic acid along with Min-top 2% as hair growth enhancer. I am a bit worried if relying on this product would help me or even worsen the condition. What if after some time i stop using it? Do i need to use it everyday always? Please tell...

hi there.
1. your concern may be chronic telogen effluvium leading to visible hair loss.
2. mintop 2% is minoxidil molecule , which acts by enhancing blood circulation to individual hair follicle.
3. minoxidil is usually suggested for daily usage for a minimum of 3 months.
4. after 3 consecutive months if favourable results are noticed, then we advice the client for long term usage until desirable results are achieved.
5. we can tapper minoxidil by reducing the dose every month and we can completely stop using it, by tapering the medication we can retain the achieved results for long term.
6. along with mintop start using adgain hair supplements daily one after breakfast along with that use anapahse shampoo weekly twice for head bath with soft drinking water.
this will help you in protecting the remaining hair and making them better.
