Mintop 5% Solution

Manufacturer

• Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd.

Composition

• Minoxidil 5% w/v (Topical Solution)

Description

Mintop 5% Solution is a topical hair regrowth treatment containing Minoxidil, a vasodilator that stimulates hair follicles. It is widely prescribed for male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) and in some cases for female hair thinning, when 2% strength is less effective. Minoxidil works by improving blood circulation in the scalp, extending the growth phase of hair, and promoting regrowth in thinning areas.
