Mintop Forte 5% Solution

Mintop Forte 5% Solution is a topical hair-loss medicine that contains minoxidil 5% in each bottle. It belongs to the vasodilator class and is used on the scalp to help treat pattern hair loss and thinning hair. This solution is meant for external use only and is applied directly to the area of hair loss as directed by a clinician.

How it works: Minoxidil helps widen small blood vessels and may improve blood flow around hair follicles. In solution form, Mintop Forte 5% Solution is applied to the scalp so the medicine can act locally where hair is thinning.

The 5% solution is a higher-strength minoxidil option compared with lower-strength products, so it is typically chosen for adults who need a stronger topical treatment and have been assessed by a doctor. Mintop Forte 5% Solution may be more likely to cause scalp irritation than lower strengths, but some people use it because it can be a better fit for more noticeable hair thinning.

• Androgenetic alopecia
• Pattern hair loss
• Hair thinning on the scalp
• Support of hair regrowth over time

• Apply only to a clean, dry scalp in the affected area.
• Use the amount prescribed by your doctor; do not use more solution or apply it more often than directed.
• Wash your hands after applying Mintop Forte 5% Solution unless your hands are the treatment area.
• Let the solution dry completely before using hair products, wearing a hat, or going to bed.
• Do not apply to broken, irritated, sunburned, or infected scalp skin.
• Avoid getting the solution in your eyes, mouth, or nose; rinse with water right away if contact occurs.

Mintop Forte 5% Solution provides minoxidil 5% topical solution, which is a stronger scalp treatment than lower-strength minoxidil products. The exact amount and how often to use it are decided by the doctor, but topical minoxidil is commonly used once or twice daily depending on the prescribed regimen. Do not exceed the prescribed daily amount, because using more will not speed up hair growth and may increase side effects.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Minoxidil may include:

• Scalp irritation
• Itching
• Dryness or flaking of the scalp
• Redness at the application site
• Temporary increased hair shedding when starting treatment
• Unwanted hair growth on nearby skin if the solution spreads

• Use Mintop Forte 5% Solution only on the scalp as directed; do not apply to other body areas.
• This 5% strength may irritate the scalp more than lower-strength minoxidil solutions.
• Do not use on broken, inflamed, or sunburned skin unless your doctor tells you to.
• Use caution if you have heart disease, blood pressure problems, or a history of palpitations.
• Stop and seek medical help if you develop chest pain, swelling, or dizziness after using it.
• Keep the solution away from children and pets; accidental ingestion can be dangerous.
• Do not use other scalp medicines or harsh hair products at the same time unless your doctor approves.

• Other topical scalp medicines that can irritate the skin
• Alcohol-containing hair products or scalp treatments
• Medicines for blood pressure, especially if you already have low blood pressure
• Heart medicines that may worsen dizziness or palpitations
• Other products containing minoxidil

Store Mintop Forte 5% Solution at room temperature, tightly closed, and away from heat or open flame because the solution may contain alcohol.
