Brief Answer:
If you ever decide to give it up, you would have severe hairloss

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

Morr solution contains minoxidil which definitely stimulates hair growth. But the problem of this medicine is that it needs to be used religiously. If you ever discontinue applying this on your scalp, the hairfall would increase manifold, much more than your current rate. So, unless you plan to keep using it till the end of your life, think again. Else, it is an effective solution.
