Hi,
I had gone through your questionnaire. I can conclude it one by one.
(1) There is no relation between Minoxidil and impotence and sperm reduction.
(2) Male pattern of hairloss called baldness is genetically determined problem seen in few families. Here the defect in secretion of male hormone Dihydrotestosterone.
(3) No relation between anti depressants and hairloss.
(4) No need cut your hairs. you can use directly on scalp area as spray.
(5) 20 drops or spray on your scalp daily first 3 weeks. After once in 3 days.
(6) The best shampoo use for good hairs should be colorless, odorless, pH conditioned moisture with exfoliating property.
(7) We can use Minoxidil for 6 months without any problem.
Pulse therapy, i.e., equal interval use of Minoxidil is the best option after specific course.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
