Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM

Mintop forte 5% and Hair4u 5% are essentially the same and both of them contain 5% Minoxidil. You can use either one of them.

In addition to Minoxidil i usually add Finasteride 1mg to my patients of Androgenetic alopecia.

Ketoconazole based shampoo is also advisable as ketoconazole does seems to exert some local anti-androgenetic action in this kind of hair loss.

take care
regards
