Product introduction
Minohag-FP 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 Minohag-FP Solution in the dose and duration as prescribed by your doctor or as instructed on 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. This medicine is to be used only by men and is not indicated in women.
Common side effects of this medicine include mild scalp itching, dryness, flaking, and headache. 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 if 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.
Uses of Minohag-FP Solution
Benefits of Minohag-FP Solution
In Treatment of Hair loss
Minohag-FP Solution is used for the treatment of male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). It helps reduce further hair thinning and supports hair regrowth when used regularly. This medicine is most effective for thinning or hair loss at the top and crown of the scalp and is less effective for frontal hairline recession. It is not suitable for sudden or unexplained hair loss. Continued use is required to maintain the benefits, as hair regrowth may gradually reverse after stopping treatment. Minohag-FP Solution is intended for use in men only and should be used under medical guidance.

How Minohag-FP Solution works
Minohag-FP Solution is a combination of two medicines: Minoxidil and Finasteride, which treat 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.
