Hello, Thanks for the query.
Mintop and MorrF both are same in terms of the ingredient as each has Minoxidil solution. Only difference is in concentration. Mintop is 2% and the other is 3%.There may be a slight enhanced effect with the higher concentration. But there is also a possibility of some side effects with higher concentration as there may be slight more absorption from scalp application.
Of these two whichever suits you should be preferred.
Another important aspect if doctor has mentioned about hormonal imbalance, it is better to get your thyroid hormone test done, to check if there is hypothyroidism present. As that can cause hair fall and is a fairly often seen condtion. Thanks
