Description

Morr F 3 % Solution is a combination of Minoxidil and Finasteride. It is used in the treatment of male pattern baldness (hair loss on the scalp in men). It improves blood circulation to the hair follicles, nourishes them, and prevents hair fall. Thus it allows the regrowth of healthy, thick, and long hair. Morr F 3 % Solution may cause side effects like redness and irritation at the site of application, dryness of scalp, and excess facial hair growth. Most of these side effects are temporary and resolve as your body gets used to the medicine. Consult your doctor if these side effects persist or get worse. Morr F 3 % Solution is meant for application on the scalp only. It may be three to four months before you notice new hair growth. The initial growth is soft and maybe barely visible. You may also experience increased hair loss in the first few weeks of using Morr F 3 % Solution, as the new hair begins to grow. Do not discontinue treatment because of this reason. Morr F 3 % Solution is not recommended for use in women, children below 18 years of age, and the elderly. Inform your doctor if you have heart problems.

How it works

Morr F 3 % Solution is a combination of Minoxidil and Finasteride. Minoxidil widens the blood vessels and provides better blood flow to the hair follicles. Finasteride blocks the production of a male hormone in the scalp that stops hair growth. Thus it increases hair regrowth and prevents hair loss.
