Hello, I have been observing thinning of hair in the crown area and have observed the hairline has gone back by 1 cm approx. I have been visiting various clinics for the right treatment and opted for qr678 treatment. However the doctor advised me to start applying tugain 5% solution as well but I came across that if I stop using this after sometime I might have a negative impact on the already existing hair as well. Could someone help me understand the side effects of the usage, and if this does actually affect the healthy hair after stopping the usage of this after a certain period (year or so). Thank you.

Hii, topical minoxidil is one of the most widely, consistently used fda approved treatment in case of male pattern alopecia a.k.a. Androgenic alopecia. There aren't any side effects when used in men except for there can be mild stinging sensation due to the vehicle of the product used and there can be allergies to the medicine itself or the preservative which is very very rare. Now, internet will tell you that it would lead to hairloss as soon s you stop it. But, when you're under the treatment with a dermatologist by your side, he/ she knows the best how to taper and stop and when to stop in a particular case. Your dermatologist might prescribe you another growth lotion alongwith minoxidil after a while. Yes results do take min 3- 6 months it's a long and tedious process, so you must have a lot of patience, I agree. But what I ve seen in my practice is that more than 70 percent of patients have their hairs well maintained and hairloss cured by proper treatment which includes both oral as well as topical treatments. So, to conclude, trust your dermatologist, he/she knows the best for you. Google shows that plain paracetamol can cause liver failure and headache can be a tumor. So, it's better that we trust our doctors who have read and practised for so many years thoroughly. All the best! no doctor stops the use of minoxidil abruptly.
