Oiling?
Date: 11/15/2013
Hi, I am using minoxidil topical solution usp 2%. Can I do oiling along with it?
Kirti
AskDocWeb: There seems to be a lot of research going on by the Bio-Tech and Pharmaceutical industries to develop new topical agents for the treatment of hair loss. Several of these involve using various oils formulated with minoxidil. One oil, which was specifically mentioned is Emu Oil.

AskDocWeb: Sometimes it’s difficult to understand just what a visitor intends to say because they leave out punctuation. Minoxidil is known to sometimes produce painful scalp irritation however, there are also other possible causes for these symptoms. For this reason it is important to report side effects and symptoms to your doctor so that your treatment may be adjusted.
Novophane spray
Date: 11/26/2013
Hi am using novophane spray and am worry that it may cause side effects or if i stopped sing it will make my hair fall or something.
Safia
AskDocWeb: Sorry Safia, we were unable to find a product called Novophane spray. Are you talking about Novophane Lotion? The lotion contains biotin, vitamins C, E, B5, B6, PP, H, sunflower oil, grapefruit, orange, mint and juniper. Those ingredients are not known to produce troublesome side effects unless a person has a special sensitivity to one of them.
Stronger solution?
Date: 11/30/2013
Hi, My doctor prescribed me coverit 5% solution, but I myself brought coverit 10% solution. Will that cause any side-effect?
Sharma
AskDocWeb: It is impossible to say for sure whether or not you will experience any side effects however, you need to know that the stronger the formula of minoxidil the more likely you are to have side effects.
Best treatment for hair fall
Date: 12/2/2013
I had a hair loss from last 3 years., in initial stages., i went to Dr. Batra’s for treatment., i spent a lot of money., now i lost almost all my hair..now i went to another doctor., he suggested me to use TUGAIN 5 solution., is it works..?? what is the best treatment for hair fall..please suggest me..
Kiran
AskDocWeb: The best treatment for hair fall can be determined only after the cause of the hair loss is found, otherwise you would just be guessing. Unfortunately too many people use a trial and error approach by using one product after another. We recommend getting a complete medical examination to rule out health concerns that might be causing the hair to fall out. It makes no sense to treat for fungus if the hair loss is caused by a thyroid problem and vice versa.
Lost the regrowth
Date: 12/9/2013
Hi, I have used Minokem-n 2% for around 3-4 months and I could see the difference in the hair. However when I stopped using it in a month I lost all the hair regrowth and the scalp it having much more patched now. Please advise! 🙁
Meenal
AskDocWeb: This why Minokem-n 2% is called a “treatment” rather than a cure. The treatment must be used continuously in order to keep the hair that is stimulated to grow. That means day after day for as long you want to keep that extra hair. If the stimulant is discontinued then you lose that hair.
Headache
Date: 12/15/2013
Hello! I’m 25 years old, f..after using minokem i got headache..is this a side effect? Should i continue it or quit?
Lovely
AskDocWeb: Yes, headache is one of the possible side effects and should be discussed with your doctor. Your doctor will evaluate your headaches and advise you if you need to stop using it or not.

Jomin
AskDocWeb: It could be any of number of things. Have you had a medical examination, a physical to rule out health issues such as a thyroid problem?

Sam
AskDocWeb: If you are talking about “Spectral MX5” the low alcohol formula of minoxidil, it is not intended to treat hair loss in the front of the scalp (receding hair line).

AskDocWeb: Before you buy any formula of minoxidil you need to understand what the numbers mean and the possible side effects. The numbers are the percentage of minoxidil in the formula. The larger the number the higher the risk of side effects, such as the growth of unwanted body hair. The two percent version has been approved for women but stronger formulas are for men. They are usually not concerned by growing more body hair.
