Brief Answer:
Yes you can continue taking Mintop 5%
Detailed Answer:
Hi & Welcome.
I have gone through the problems given in your query & I can understand your concerns of hair fall and the possibility of suspected sexual problems due to Mintop 5% drops.
Mintop (Minoxidil) 5% is recommended for the treatment & prevention of hair fall as it can also help in increasing the hair density and hair thickness.
However, the cause of hair fall should be detected and if found to be treated accordingly. Hair fall can result from age related male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia), stress, anemia, dandruff, hormonal diseases like hypothyroidism, nutritional deficiency of vitamins or other minerals.
Use of Mintop drops is not associated with any sexual problems or decrease in muscle mass in the chest as you believe.
In addition to Mintop 5% drops I recommend you to take some multivitamins & minerals containing medicine like Keraglo tablets.
Keralgo tablet is hair supplement which contains multivitamins and minerals. It is basically effective only when there is a possible deficiency of any of these.
Hope I could answer your query.
I shall be glad to answer your follow-up query if you have.
Best regards.

Brief Answer:
Should be used regulary for a period of 6-12 months
Detailed Answer:
Hi & Welcome back.
Thanks for your compliments.
It should be used on a regular basis over a period of 6-12 months for maximum benefits and to be maintained later on.
1 ml of 5% of Mintop is to be applied directly to the scalp twice daily.
A moisturizing shampoo can be used to keep your scalp hydrated and the hairs should be air dried and not wet when you apply Minoxidil because if you apply on wet scalp the concentration on Mintop would get diluted.
Shampoo, oil or hair conditioners can be used 4-6 hrs after using Mintop solution.
You may increase the intake of fruits, oral fluids to keep your scalp hydrated.
It is found that as long as you continue to use Mintop, you will notice the benefits.
Keraglo contains multivitamins and minerals which are essential for the hair growths, this medicine is generally safe and it does not cause any side effect.
Mintop may cause local irritation to the scalp other wise when used in the recommended amount it will not cause any side effect.
Hope I could answer your query.
Regards.
