Will Mintop Improve Hair Growth?
Hi I am sam, I am using Mintop 5% from ranbaxy company, I also used the Minoxidil gel(fem) daily in the morning and solution during night for almost 4 months. My hair growth was good but later on hair started to fall and it prevailed even after applying the medicine. So because of that I shaved my head, and consulted doctor he prescribed Mintop 10% during night & mintop 5% in the morning. Now there are small areas where there is less hairs other areas got thick hairs, so applying the above medicine(mintop 10% & 5%) will improve ?
