Minoxidil 5% or Mintop 5% Out of this two , which is the best product to use

Minoxidil 5% and mintop 5% are nothing but the two different names of the same medicines, mintop is brand name and minoxidil is a generic name so there is no difference of effectivity of any particular name. so there no matter of question that which one amongst those is better or not.

Minoxidil and Mintop

Minoxidil, when used with finasteride and supplements, can yield good results for hair growth. Concerns about finasteride’s side effects are often exaggerated, and it’s important to consult a dermatologist for accurate advice before stopping any medication.

Theoretically, there are some sexual side effects of finasteride like loss of libido, orgasm disorders, and ejaculation disorders, and theory behind this states that its due to direct effect on DHT which is a hormone somewhat responsible for the sexual activities. but this is just in theories which are not at all proved otherwise. and in this theory also only 2% patients may experience this side effect and that too not permanent, it’s temporary. for the matter of fact, the paracetamol also has side effects which are seen in 5% of patients and has proven the clinical link.

Its been 30 years I am prescribing finasteride to my hair loss patients and I have never seen a patient with the sexual side effect due to finasteride but almost every patient getting rid of hair loss due to finasteride.

I know these days internet is full of that propaganda on side effects of minoxidil, but if we trust on googles diagnosis then  every alternate patient will have cancer or serious infection. i can understand that patient gets confused and frightened with such information. but this is not expected from a doctor.

I hope you got your answer. please continue with minoxidil and finasteride.

Best of luck!
