Yes..But thing it is a life time affair..u cant stop.May b u can cut down on the dosage (5% to 2%).That too i am not sure.There is is always a talk of big three on hair loss forums..Minoxidil (Mintop/Tugain)..Nizoral (1%/2%) Shampoo..Finasteride (Finac in India (Reddy's Lab)...But the worrying part is the third one.It can cause many issues...mainly impotency and low sex drive.Please google around for more details..I am trying Minox and nizoral..So far Ok.Hair growth is negligible.But texture is improved and Hair loss has reduced drastically..I would suggest you to do some research on hair loss forums...
