Date: 2/13/2016
Hi sir I’m using mx10 from last 5 months hair falls fully controlled..but I’m not getting any new hair…what s that maximum usage for good results?
Anand
AskDocWeb: MX10 is not legal in the U.S.A.. Apparently it did not pass clinical trials here. The directions for the legal formulas of minoxidil say to apply it twice a day for maximum effectiveness.

Hello, I am 26yrs old female and used tugain 5 for 4days. After using it I’m having headache, nosebleed and vomiting. I have stopped using it but I’m scared. Please tell if it would do any harm. Would the side effects go?
Mimi
AskDocWeb: We encourage you to consult with your doctor. A headache accompanied with nosebleed and vomiting could indicate an unrelated problem that may require medical treatment.
Switched to 10%
Date: 2/19/2016
I have been using minoxidil 5%, and my hair density has improved a little, i now have switched to 10%, is this ok? Plus my hair line has receded a bit, is their any product available for that?
Bilal
AskDocWeb: In the USA our Food and Drug Administration approves of new drugs only after they go through clinical trials to prove they are safe to use. Formulas above 5% have not been proven safe for use.
As for a product that works on the hair line, to our knowledge, that product is yet to be discovered.

Pawan
AskDocWeb: Unfortunately the products that are strong enough to have an effect on hair growth also have the possibility of causing side effects. Have you had a medical physical to make sure that you don’t have a vitamin deficiency?
