Hello,

Morr solution contains minoxidil which definitely stimulates hair growth. But the problem of this medicine is that it needs to be used religiously.

If you ever discontinue applying this on your scalp, the hair fall would increase manifold, much more than your current rate.

So, unless you plan to keep using it till the end of your life, think again. Else, it is an effective solution.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
