Hi, Hair fall can occur due to a number of causes like androgenic aloepecia due to sensitivity of hair follicles to androgenic hormones and genetics while other causes comes under Telogen Efluvium caused by fungal infection,nutritional deficiency, stress, long standing illness, side effects of medicines. Now about Mx5, it contains Minoxidil as active ingredient, Minoxidil helps in reducing hair fall and promoting hair growth and it is more efficient in male pattern baldness. Many a times it can take up to 4-6 months for appropriate results so you can use if for about 6 months after your Doctor s consent. You can be advised to take Biotin and multivitamin supplements. You can also be advised to take Finesteride orally if there is androgenic aloepecia as it suppresses androgens but only under Doctor s supervision. You should massage the scalp with warm coconut oil. You should take a nutritious diet and drink plenty of water. You can also discuss about platelet rich plasma and mesotherapy. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Honey Arora, Dentist
