Mintop 2% Solution is a type of vasodilator used to treat alopecia (hair loss). It works by stimulating hair growth and slowing down the balding process. Alopecia refers to the thinning or loss of hair on the scalp or other parts of the body.
Mintop 2% Solution contains Minoxidil, a vasodilator that widens blood vessels. This widening allows more oxygen, blood, and nutrients to reach the hair follicles, which helps prevent hair cell death and promotes new hair growth.
Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose and duration of treatment based on your condition. Common side effects of Mintop 2% Solution include changes in hair color or texture, excessive hair growth, headache, itching, skin irritation, dryness, shortness of breath, skin scaling, and redness. These side effects are usually mild and tend to resolve over time. However, if they persist or worsen, consult your doctor.
Do not apply Mintop 2% Solution to shaved, inflamed, infected, irritated, or painful areas of the scalp. Before using this solution, inform your doctor if you have high blood pressure, sunburn, eczema, psoriasis, heart conditions such as angina (chest pain), a recent heart attack, or circulation disorders.
