I've been using Morr F 5 solution for a couple of months now for my hair loss, and I'm starting to see some good early results. However, I'm experiencing a lot of flakes, similar to dandruff, on my scalp. I'm pretty sure the alcohol in the solution is causing this. Do you know of any alternative treatments to Morr F that include both Finasteride and Minoxidil but dont have alcohol?

My wife's hair is falling out really fast, and I'm getting pretty worried. She had typhoid back in MayI'm not sure if that could be linked to her hair loss? A doctor told us to try a sulphate-free shampoo, but it doesn't seem to be making any difference. Any idea what we should do next?

I'm wondering if it's okay to use halox lotion for my dandruff and then apply minoxidil afterward every day. I'm really trying to manage both my dandruff and hair growth, but I'm a bit worried if using both these products so close together might cause any problems. What do you think?

itis generally safe to use both Halox lotion and minoxidil if applied at different times, but its important to: Wait a while (30 minutes to 1 hour) between the applications. Use the steroid lotion only as directed to avoid overuse or skin thinning. Consult your doctor to ensure the combination is appropriate for your situation.
