Regarding effectiveness of Mintop Pro
After consulting with doctor on practo about male pattern baldness, she prescribed Mintop Pro (Procapil) instead of Minoxidil. This is a bit confusing for me, as she was talking about benefits of minoxidil but wrote mintop pro in prescription.
So i want to ask that is procapil as effective as minoxidil, and is it fda approved?
i have used it for about a week already should i continue or switch to minoxidil?
I have attached prescription.
