Uses

MORR 7.5% Solution is prescribed for the treatment of hair loss. It is particularly effective for:

• Common hereditary hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) in both men and women.
• Stimulating hair regrowth and slowing down the balding process.
• Increasing blood flow to hair follicles on the scalp, which prevents hair cell death and enhances new hair growth. It is most effective for baldness or thinning at the top of the scalp.

Dosage and Administration

MORR 7.5% Solution is for external use only and should be applied directly to the scalp.

• Clean and dry your scalp thoroughly before application.
• Apply the prescribed amount (typically 1 ml) to the affected areas of the scalp, usually twice daily, or as advised by your doctor.
• Massage gently to aid absorption.
• Do not shampoo your hair or use a hairdryer for at least 4 hours after application to ensure effectiveness.
• Wash hands immediately after applying the solution.
• Consistent and continuous use is necessary to maintain hair growth. It may take 2-4 months to notice any hair growth, which may initially be soft and colorless.

What is MORR 7.5 % SOLUTION used for?

MORR 7.5% SOLUTION contains Minoxidil and is primarily used to manage hereditary hair loss, also known as androgenic alopecia, on the scalp in both men and women. It helps stimulate hair regrowth, slow down further hair thinning, and improve hair density and thickness.

How does MORR 7.5 % SOLUTION work?

This solution works as a vasodilator, meaning it widens the blood vessels. When applied to the scalp, Minoxidil increases blood flow to the hair follicles, providing them with more oxygen and nutrients. This process helps to prevent hair cell death and prolongs the hair growth cycle, thereby promoting new hair growth and stabilizing hair loss.

What is the usual dosage and application?

MORR 7.5% SOLUTION is typically applied to the affected areas of the scalp. Ensure your scalp and hair are completely dry before application. Apply the advised amount, usually starting from the center of the area being treated, using the provided applicator. After applying, wash your hands immediately. It is generally recommended not to shampoo your hair for at least 4 hours after application to allow for proper absorption. Do not use a hairdryer immediately after applying, as it may reduce the medication's effectiveness.

What are the possible side effects of MORR 7.5 % SOLUTION?

Common side effects can include headache, itching of the scalp, rash, burning sensation, irritation, dryness, and changes in hair color or texture. Some individuals may experience initial increased hair shedding when starting treatment, which often indicates the medication is working. Less common but more serious side effects may include chest pain, rapid or irregular heartbeat, dizziness, lightheadedness, sudden unexplained weight gain, and swelling of the hands or feet. Excessive hair growth (hypertrichosis) on other body parts can also occur if the solution runs onto the face or other areas.

Is MORR 7.5 % SOLUTION safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

No, MORR 7.5% SOLUTION is not recommended for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. It is classified as a Category C drug by the FDA for use during pregnancy, meaning that risk to the fetus cannot be ruled out. Minoxidil can be absorbed systemically and may pass into breast milk, potentially causing adverse effects in nursing infants. It is crucial to consult your doctor if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding before using this medicine.

Can MORR 7.5 % SOLUTION be taken with other medications?

Before using MORR 7.5% SOLUTION, inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, including topical products. Concomitant use with other medications applied to the scalp, such as corticosteroids, tretinoin, or dithranol, may lead to interactions. Caution is advised when used with blood pressure medications, especially vasodilators or guanethidine, as it may enhance their blood pressure-lowering effects. Systemic cyclosporine combined with topical minoxidil may increase the risk of excessive hair growth.

What happens if a dose of MORR 7.5 % SOLUTION is missed?

If you miss a dose of MORR 7.5% SOLUTION, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not apply a double dose to make up for the missed one.

How should MORR 7.5 % SOLUTION be stored?

MORR 7.5% SOLUTION should be stored in a cool and dry place, ideally at room temperature between 20-25°C (68-77°F), away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep the container tightly closed and out of the reach of children. As it may be flammable, keep it away from fire or flame. Avoid exposing it to extreme heat or freezing temperatures, as this can affect its stability and effectiveness.
