About MX F 5% Topical Solution

MX F 5% Topical Solution is primarily used to treat alopecia (hair loss). It stimulates hair growth and slows down the process of balding. MX F 5% Topical Solution is used to promote hair growth in androgenetic alopecia (male pattern hair loss).

MX F 5% Topical Solution contains Minoxidil and Finasteride. Minoxidil widens the blood vessels and helps provide oxygen, blood, and nutrients to the hair follicles. Finasteride reduces dihydrotestosterone (male hormone) levels, thereby preventing thinning of hair follicles.

In some cases, MX F 5% Topical Solution may cause side effects such as unwanted non-scalp hair growth, headache, itching, and dermatitis (itchy inflammation of the skin). Consult your doctor if any of these side effects persist or worsen.

Do not use MX F 5% Topical Solution if you are allergic to any of its components. Do not apply MX F 5% Topical Solution on shaved, inflamed, infected, irritated or painful scalp skin. MX F 5% Topical Solution is intended for use by men only and must not be used by women, particularly during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Uses of MX F 5% Topical Solution

MX F 5% Topical Solution is used in the treatment of hair loss in men. The detailed uses of MX F 5% Topical Solution are as follows:
• Treatment of androgenetic alopecia: MX F 5% Topical Solution reduces hair loss and stimulates new hair growth in male pattern baldness.
• Promotes hair regrowth: Minoxidil promotes hair regrowth by widening blood vessels and improving blood flow to hair follicles.
• Reduces scalp DHT levels: Finasteride reduces dihydrotestosterone (DHT) locally, a significant factor in hair follicle atrophy and hair loss.
• Improves hair density: Regular use may result in more and thicker hair strands on the scalp.
• Maintains existing hair: MX F 5% Topical Solution preserves present hair follicles, preventing further thinning.

Directions for Use

Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safe and effective use.
Use the spray pump to apply the recommended amount of solution to the bald parts of the scalp. Then use your fingers to evenly distribute it.
Avoid inhaling the spray or allowing it to come into contact with any unwanted regions of skin.
It is only for external use. Avoid contact of MX F 5% Topical Solution with the nose, mouth, or eyes. If it comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly.

Medicinal Benefits

MX F 5% Topical Solution is a combination medication containing Minoxidil (a vasodilator) and Finasteride (a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor), used for the treatment of alopecia (hair loss).
It stimulates hair growth by increasing blood flow to the hair follicles, providing essential oxygen and nutrients that promote healthy hair growth and prevent follicle death.
MX F 5% Topical Solution prevents hair thinning by lowering levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles, thereby reducing hair thinning and slowing the progression of androgenetic alopecia.
It improves hair density, enhances hair volume, thickness, and scalp coverage over time.
MX F 5% Topical Solution helps maintain existing hair and delays further balding.

How MX F 5% Topical Solution Works

MX F 5% Topical Solution consists of two medicines, namely Minoxidil (vasodilator) and Finasteride (5-alpha-reductase inhibitor). Minoxidil is a vasodilator that widens the blood vessels and opens potassium channels. This vasodilation process helps provide oxygen, blood, and nutrients to the hair follicles, thereby preventing hair cell death and promoting new hair growth. Finasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor. It reduces dihydrotestosterone (male hormone) levels, thereby preventing thinning of hair follicles in people with androgenetic alopecia (male pattern hair loss). Together, MX F 5% Topical Solution helps treat hair loss.
