Hi

Mintop contains Minoxidil.The drug acts by dilating the blood vessels in the scalp thereby increasing blood flow,oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicle.

Once the drug is stopped,the effects are lost in a few weeks and new hair growth reduces.This is the main disadvantage of the drug.It does not give permanent result.

Scalp irritation,headache,dizziness,flushing,unwanted facial hair are some of the side effects of the drug.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards
