Minscalp-F 10% Solution
Introduction of Minscalp-F Solution
Minscalp-F 10% Solution is a combination medicine used in the treatment of hair loss in men. It works by increasing blood flow to the hair follicles which further prevents hair loss and stimulates re-growth resulting in longer, thicker and increased numbers of hair.
Use Minscalp-F 10% Solution in the dose and duration as prescribed by your doctor or as instructed in the label. Clean and dry your scalp before using it. It may take several months before you notice any hair growth. The first growth could be soft, colorless, and barely visible. Use it in the exact dose and duration as prescribed by your doctor. Using more than recommended will not speed up hair growth and may increase the likelihood of side effects. Use it for as long as the doctor has prescribed to maintain proper hair growth. If your condition does not improve after using it for 4 to 6 months, tell your doctor. This medicine is to be used only by men and not indicated in women.
It is generally safe, however, it may cause few common side effects such as application site reactions, dry skin, impotence, decreased libido, ejaculation disorders, breast enlargement, breast tenderness in males, and skin rash. In case of accidental contact with other parts of the body, it may cause excessive hair growth. If you get it in your eyes, mouth, or broken skin, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water. Talk to your doctor if you are bothered by side effects or they do not go away.
To ensure its safety, before using this medicine, let your doctor know if you have any problems with your heart. Additionally, inform your doctor about all the medicines you are taking. Pregnant, potentially pregnant, or breastfeeding women should not handle this medicine because of the possibility of absorption of finasteride. As it may cause potential harm to a male baby or fetus.

How to use Minscalp-F Solution
Use this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use.
How Minscalp-F Solution works
Minscalp-F 10% Solution is a combination of two medicines: Minoxidil and Finasteride, which treats hair loss in men. In men, the balding scalp contains small sized hair follicles along with increased levels of a male hormone that is believed to cause excessive hair loss and retards hair growth. Minoxidil is a vasodilator, which means it widens the blood vessels and provides better blood flow to the hair follicles. This prevents hair loss and stimulates re-growth resulting in longer, thicker and increased numbers of hair. Finasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor. It blocks the production of a male hormone in the scalp that stops hair growth, thereby reversing the balding process and preventing further hair loss.
