Question
I've been using the Mintop 5% minoxidil solution for about a week and a half, and it feels like my hair loss has actually gotten worse instead of better. I'm a bit worried if this is normal or if I should stop using it. Could there be another medication I should consider?

Hair loss can sometimes worsen temporarily when starting minoxidil treatment. It is important to continue using the medication as directed. In addition to minoxidil, you can consider adding finasteride 1mg tablet once daily to your treatment regimen. Finasteride helps to block the hormone responsible for hair loss. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
