Dear friends, The use of Mintop solution (Minoxidil) should be only under the guidance of a dermatologist.This drug was originally invented as an anti hypertensive.Unwanted and excessive hair growth was reported as a side effect. Now this same drug is being prescribed to cure baldness.Though this may grow some hairs, permanant cure is not guaranteed and not possible with Mintop.Any use of harmones may cause other side effects. kamlesh
