Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Trigaine and Morr F contain Minoxidil. However, Morr F also has topical finasteride along with minoxidil. Topical finasteride is not US-FDA approved for use in baldness and there is not much research/literature regarding its efficacy in treating baldness. I would suggest that if minoxidil alone has not given good results even after using for 6 months, you could add on oral finasteride 1 mg once a day. This has to be taken only under the guidance of a dermatologist. Tricovit and adgain both contain vitamin supplements for your hair and it does not matter which one you take.
Hope this answers your query.
Take care.
