Shifted To Morr F 3% From Morr F 5% Which Has Minox 3% And Finasteride 0.1%. Latter As Effective As The Former Combination?
I used to take morr f 5% which had minox 5% and finasteride 0.1%. It gave me great results. Now i have shifted to morr f 3 % which has minox 3% and finasteride same 0.1%. I shifted to morr f 3 % as morr f 5% has been discountinued. Will the effectiveness of finasteride make a difference with the 3% minox or it will be as effective as before ?

HI,
Thanks for writing in healthcare magic.
Morr F 5% has 5% minoxidil and MorrF 3% has 3% minoxidil.
You should continue with 5% minoxidil as in males 5% is indicated and 3% will not be much effective.You can use other brands like Mintop or coverit 5 % lotion.
Topical finasteride does not have much role and only minoxidil is effective.Only minoxidil containing lotion can also be used.
Hope this helps.
