Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello doctor. My question is if I apply this mintop 5% lotion in the night after washing my scalp.. Should I again wash my scalp in the morning before applying it again...? And suppose if I apply this lotion after having bath in the morning.. Then I couldn t wash it again after 4 hours as described in the dosage of mintop. Is it safe.. if it is remain on the scalp for 10 to 12 hours in the day..?
Mintop contains minoxidil which is recommended for treatment of hair fall (male pattern baldness/androgenic alopecia). It promotes hair growth but effect is seen after 4 - 6 months of use. It common side effects are burning or irritation of the eye, itching, redness or irritation at the treated area and unwanted hair growth elsewhere on the body. Advice 1. Mintop 5% gel – apply locally in scalp1 mL every 12 hours for 4 months. There is no need to wash your hairs every time you apply Mintop 2. Capsule Adgain – 1 capsule per oral daily for 2 months 4. High protein and vitamin rich diet such as eggs, meat, vegetables, cheese etc 5. Do not take much tension as anxiety/depression aggravates hair loss Thanks
