Does Minoxidil Cause Any Side Effects?
Is there any side effect of Minoxidil solution 5% like forgetness? How can i understand the difference between the same product manufactured under different manufacturer, because for me my hair loss slowed with Pilomin 5(manufactured by Palsons drugs) and haven t seen any positive effect like slowed hair loss by using Mintop forte(manufactured by Dr. Reddy) where the composition of both the product is same?

Sir I appreciate your concern.Minoxidil 5% or 2% is a recommended treatment for hair loss.
When you use minoxidil you should cautious about two things
.Don't use more than 2ml of minoxidil within 24 hours and use twice daily.
There is many brands available.The medicine is same,but the bases(preparation) are composed of different ingredients.So some brands have more side effects and some brands have less.The bases are also responsible for the efficacy of this drug.
There is no documented case of forgetfulness among minoxidil users.
My advice that you should use the brand which suits you better.Some Ayurvedic preparation like bramhi juice deals good with forgetfulness.
Don't worry.You will be fine.I hope it can solve your problem.
Thank you
