It is very effective in individuals aged below 40 years. Mintop 5% Lotion may rarely cause some side effects like itching and skin irritation at the site of application. These side effects are rare and may subside by themselves. Consult your doctor if they bother you for a long time or worsen. Mintop 5% Lotion is for external use and for applying on the scalp only.
