I am using this product for last 10 years for male pattern baldness. Its very very effective for me. It caused some regrowth of hairs and stopped the further shedding effectively. You need to use the same twice daily. Its very helpful for those who is having shedding in crown area rather than from frontal area of head. However for those who have frontal baldness can use it to reduce further shedding of hairs. While you start to use Mintop, first 2 to 4 weeks you will see the shedding increased, but dont worry, that means your medicine is working. You need to use the product for 6 to 8 weeks continously to see any result. Only negative side of this product is that you need to use it forever. Whenever you stop using it, the additionally grown hairs will go within 6 months of stoping the medicine.
