FAQs about MORR 12.5% SOLUTION 60 ML

MORR 12.5% Solution, manufactured by Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd., contains Minoxidil as its active ingredient and is used to treat hair loss.

What is MORR 12.5% Solution used for?

MORR 12.5% Solution is primarily used to treat common hereditary hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia or male pattern baldness, and female pattern hair loss. It helps prevent further hair loss and promotes hair regrowth, particularly effective for thinning at the top of the scalp.

How does MORR 12.5% Solution work?

The active ingredient, Minoxidil, is a vasodilator. When applied to the scalp, it works by increasing blood flow to the hair follicles. This increased blood flow delivers more oxygen and nutrients to the follicles, which helps prevent hair cell death, stimulates hair follicles, and enhances new hair growth. It also shortens the resting (telogen) phase and prolongs the growth (anagen) phase of the hair cycle.

What is the usual dosage for MORR 12.5% Solution?

MORR 12.5% Solution is for external use only and should be applied directly to a dry scalp. The specific dose and duration should be advised by your doctor or as indicated on the packaging. Generally, it is applied once or twice daily to the affected areas of the scalp, usually no more than 1 ml per application. Do not use a hairdryer to dry the scalp after application, as it may make the treatment less effective.

What are the possible side effects of MORR 12.5% Solution?

Common side effects may include itching, excessive hair growth (hypertrichosis), rash, dermatitis, and skin irritation at the application site. Other reported side effects can include headache, changes in hair color/texture, dryness, and scaling of the skin. In rare cases, more serious systemic side effects can occur if the medicine is absorbed into the bloodstream, such as dizziness, lightheadedness, chest pain, rapid heartbeat, swelling in hands or feet, and unexplained weight gain. If you experience severe scalp irritation or any serious side effects, discontinue use and consult your doctor.

Is MORR 12.5% Solution safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

MORR 12.5% Solution (Minoxidil) is generally not recommended for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It is not known whether topical minoxidil will harm an unborn baby or pass into breast milk. Always consult your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding before using this medicine.

Can MORR 12.5% Solution be taken with other medications?

Minoxidil, the active ingredient, can interact with certain medications. It is a vasodilator, meaning it lowers blood pressure. Therefore, using it with other vasodilators or blood pressure medications (e.g., guanethidine, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors) may cause an additive hypotensive effect, leading to excessively low blood pressure. Certain NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen, aspirin) may reduce its effectiveness, and systemic cyclosporine can worsen hypertrichosis. Always inform your doctor and pharmacist about all prescription, nonprescription, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products you are taking.

What precautions should be taken when using MORR 12.5% Solution?

Apply MORR 12.5% Solution only to a normal, healthy, and dry scalp. Avoid applying it to inflamed, infected, irritated, or sunburned scalp skin. Keep the solution away from your eyes, nose, mouth, and other sensitive skin areas; if accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with cool water. Wash your hands immediately after application. Do not use a hairdryer to dry your scalp after application, as it can make the treatment less effective. Also, avoid applying other skin products to the treated area unless advised by your doctor. This medicine is not recommended for individuals under 18 or over 65 years of age unless prescribed by a doctor.

What happens if a dose is missed?

If you miss an application of MORR 12.5% 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 extra medicine or overapply to compensate for a missed dose, as this will not increase hair growth and may increase the risk of side effects.

How should MORR 12.5% Solution be stored?

Store MORR 12.5% Solution in a closed container at room temperature, ideally between 20-25°C (68-77°F), away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Do not freeze the solution. If using a foam version, keep the canister away from open flames or high heat, as it may explode. Keep it out of reach of children.
