I am using Tugain 10 percent solution for hair growth, which contains 10 percent Minoxidil and 40 percent absolute alcohol, but some companies use only 30 percent alcohol. Is that the same? I have used three boxes of Tugain, and my doctor has suggested one more. I am also taking Finacet 1 mg tablets. Will there be any side effects?
Tugain with 30 percent alcohol is similarly effective, though it may dry more slowly and cause slightly less scalp irritation than the 40 percent version. Tugain (Minoxidil) can cause scalp dryness or itching, and Finacet (Finasteride) may lead to reduced libido or erectile issues. Using them as prescribed is generally safe, but you should report any unusual symptoms to your doctor.
