Mx F 5% Bottle Of 60ml Solution
Description
MX F 5% Solution is a topical medication designed for the management of hair loss in men. It contains minoxidil and finasteride as its active ingredients, which work together to both prevent further hair loss and stimulate new hair growth on the scalp. This dual action makes it a commonly prescribed option for androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness).
It is important to note that the MX F 5% Solution should not be used in women, as the finasteride component can cause hormonal changes that may be harmful. Similarly, this solution is not suitable for children under 18 years or adults over 60 years.
You should use the MX F 5% Solution exactly as prescribed by your doctor and apply it only in the recommended amount. It is strictly for external use on the scalp. Do not ingest the medicine. If it accidentally comes in contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth, rinse the affected area thoroughly with water.
Before starting treatment, always inform your doctor about your complete medical history, including any existing heart conditions, blood pressure issues, or hormonal disorders. Also, disclose all the medications and supplements you are taking, as certain drugs may interact with this solution.
Consistency of use is key, and visible results may take several months to appear. Stopping treatment suddenly can cause hair loss to return. Always follow your doctor’s advice for the best and safest results.

Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
- MX F 5% solution contains a combination of minoxidil and finasteride as active ingredients.
- Minoxidil stimulates the hair to enter the growing phase. It also widens the blood vessels on the scalp which increases blood circulation to hair follicles. This promotes follicle size increase which helps hair growth....
- Finasteride works by reducing the production of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). In males with a hereditary or premature risk for baldness, this hormone DHT is believed to bind to hair follicles and cause them to shrink, resulting in hair loss....
Interactions
Interactions with other medicines
- Since MX F 5% solution is to be used externally on the skin it is less likely to interact with other medicines.
- However, you should always consult your doctor if you are taking other medicines for treating other health conditions.
- Care should be taken if you are using other topical medicines on the scalp as MX F 5% solution may interact and produce an altered response.
- Inform your doctor if you are taking medicines for high blood pressure as a combined effect of both medicines may cause a slight fall in blood pressure, especially while standing (orthostatic hypotension)....
