Full Product Description

Mintop Gain 5% combines Minoxidil + Finasteride in 5% + 0.1%. Minoxidil supports follicular activity, while finasteride reduces formation of DHT, a hormone involved in androgenetic hair loss.

How the Combination Works

The formulation applies both active ingredients to the scalp. Topical use is intended to limit treatment to the application area, although systemic absorption can still occur.

Safety and Use

• Possible local effects include itching, dryness, redness, flaking or irritation.
• Pregnancy-exposure precautions apply because the formulation contains finasteride.
• Avoid transfer of wet solution to another person’s skin, clothing, bedding or surfaces.
• Do not apply to significantly damaged or inflamed scalp unless advised by a healthcare professional.
• Microneedling can alter skin-barrier function, so timing with topical medicines should follow appropriate professional guidance.
