• Composition:

  • Active Ingredient: Minoxidil 10% w/v

• Uses: MORR 10% Solution is prescribed for the treatment of common hereditary hair loss, specifically androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness), in men.

  • Typical Guidance: Apply 1 ml of the solution to the affected areas of a clean and dry scalp, usually twice daily, as advised by a physician.
  • Gently massage the solution into the skin with fingertips. Wash hands thoroughly after application.
  • Avoid shampooing hair or using a hairdryer for at least 4 hours after application to ensure effectiveness.
  • Consistent use for 2-4 months or longer may be necessary to observe noticeable hair growth.

• Side Effects: Common side effects may include:

  • Scalp itching, irritation, redness, dryness, or flaking.
  • Unwanted hair growth (hypertrichosis) on other body parts, especially if the solution trickles onto other areas.
  • Headache. Serious, but rare, side effects that require immediate medical attention include rapid heartbeat, chest pain, dizziness, swelling of the face, hands, feet, or belly.

• Precautions:

  • MORR 10% Solution is intended for use by men only and should not be used by women, particularly during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
  • Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, nose, or broken/irritated scalp skin (e.g., shaved, inflamed, infected, or painful scalp). Rinse thoroughly with water if accidental contact occurs.
  • Patients with a history of heart disease, high blood pressure, liver disease, or kidney disease should consult a doctor before use.
  • Not recommended for individuals under 18 or over 65 years of age unless specifically prescribed by a doctor.
  • Do not use if hair loss is due to medications (like chemotherapy) or nutritional deficiency.
  • Avoid using other topical medicines or occlusive dressings on the scalp simultaneously unless advised by a doctor.

Here are the frequently asked questions about MORR 10% SOLUTION 60 ML by INTAS PHARMACEUTICALS LTD.:

What is MORR 10% Solution used for?

MORR 10% Solution is primarily used for the treatment of hair loss, specifically common hereditary hair loss or male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) in men and women. It helps to prevent further hair loss and promotes hair regrowth, particularly for thinning or baldness at the top of the scalp. It is generally used for mild to moderate hair loss problems, not complete hair loss.

How does MORR 10% Solution work?

MORR 10% Solution contains Minoxidil, which is a vasodilator. It works by dilating the blood vessels on the scalp, which increases blood circulation to the hair follicles. This increased blood flow provides more oxygen, blood, and nutrients to the hair follicles, preventing hair cell death and stimulating new hair growth.

What is the usual dosage of MORR 10% Solution?

MORR 10% Solution is for external use only and should be applied directly to a clean, dry scalp. The typical dosage is 1 ml, applied twice a day (with a 12-hour gap) to the affected areas of the scalp. It should be gently massaged into the scalp using fingertips, and hands should be washed thoroughly after application. Do not shampoo your hair for 4 hours after applying the solution. Using more than the recommended amount will not speed up hair growth and may increase the likelihood of side effects.

What are the possible side effects of MORR 10% Solution?

Common side effects include headache, itching, rash, dermatitis, and the growth of unwanted facial or body hair (hypertrichosis). Some individuals may experience increased hair shedding during the first 2-6 weeks of application, which is typically temporary and a sign that the medicine is working. More serious, but rare, side effects can include chest pain, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, low blood pressure, and swelling of the face, hands, or feet; if these occur, medical help should be sought immediately.

Is MORR 10% Solution safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

No, MORR 10% Solution is not recommended for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. There is a lack of sufficient data on its safety during pregnancy, and if used for a prolonged duration on a larger area, it can be absorbed and secreted in breast milk.

Can MORR 10% Solution be taken with other medications?

Avoid using corticosteroids, tretinoin, or dithranol along with MORR 10% Solution, as this can lead to a fall in blood pressure. Caution should also be exercised by patients taking medicines for high blood pressure, as a combined effect could cause a slight fall in blood pressure. Inform your doctor about all other medications, including topical solutions, herbal preparations, and over-the-counter medicines, that you are currently using.

What precautions should be taken when using MORR 10% Solution?

MORR 10% Solution is for external use on the scalp only. Avoid contact with eyes, nose, or mouth; if accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with cool water. Do not use it on a shaved scalp or if you have any scalp abnormalities such as inflammation, infection, irritation, sunburn, or psoriasis. It is not recommended for individuals under 18 or over 65 years of age. Patients with heart disease or high blood pressure should consult their doctor before using this solution. Do not use a hairdryer after application as it can reduce effectiveness.

What happens if a dose of MORR 10% Solution is missed?

If you miss an application of MORR 10% Solution, apply it as soon as possible. However, do not overapply or apply extra to compensate for the missed dose. Continue with your regular dosing schedule.

How should MORR 10% Solution be stored?

MORR 10% Solution should be stored below 25°C in a clean, cool, and dry place. Protect it from moisture, sunlight, and heat, and keep it out of the reach of children. It is also important to keep it away from fire or flame as it is flammable.
