How it works
MX-F 5% Solution is a combination of two medicines: Minoxidil and Finasteride. Minoxidil is a vasodilator which widens the blood vessels and provides better blood flow to the hair follicles. Finasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor which blocks the production of a male hormone in the scalp that stops hair growth thereby reversing the balding process and preventing further hair loss.
Quick Tips
MX-F 5% Solution has been prescribed for the treatment of hair loss in men. Wash your hands before and after application. It should only be applied directly to the scalp area. Do not shampoo your hair for 4 hours after applying MX-F 5% Solution or use a hairdryer as it can reduce the effectiveness of the medicine. Take care that MX-F 5% Solution does not trickle down onto your face as it may cause undesirable facial hair growth.
