I've been using minoxidil 5% for the past 2 year's to treat male pattern baldness. Applying minoxidil 1ml morning and night. Also orally taking finax 1mg 1 tablet per day in the morning. Results have been good so far. My question is, is it advisable to discontinue finax 1mg and use minoxidil 10% twice a day? or is there any other alternative to finax 1mg as I have been taking it for almost 2 year's. Kindly advice.

Minoxidil 5% is advised by fda but not more than that. Overall you may not know that by using it for long term it has many side effects which you will have to repent later. Mainly the decrease in sexual power, weakness, headaches etc. How we tackle stubborn hairfall we advise 1. Platelet rich plasma therapy for hairlost in patches. 2. Indiviually selected homeopathic medicines with appropiate potency. 3. Essential multivitamins and supplements needed. 4. Diet chart to be followed during the treatment. This powerpacked combo will surelly give back your lost tresses.
