MORR 3% SOLUTION 60 ML

MORR 3% Solution is a topical medication manufactured by Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd., primarily used for the treatment of hair loss.

• Name:

  • Brand Name: MORR 3% Solution
  • Common Name: Minoxidil Topical Solution 3%

• Composition:

  • Active Ingredient: Minoxidil 3% w/v

• Uses: MORR 3% Solution is prescribed for the treatment of alopecia, commonly known as hair loss, including common hereditary male and female pattern baldness. It works as a vasodilator, widening blood vessels in the scalp to increase blood flow, oxygen, and nutrients to hair follicles. This action stimulates hair growth, prevents hair cell death, and slows down the balding process, promoting new hair regrowth. It is generally most effective for thinning at the top of the scalp.

• Dosage and Administration:

  • Apply MORR 3% Solution directly to a clean, dry scalp in the affected areas, typically 1 ml, once or twice daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
  • Gently massage the solution into the scalp to aid absorption.
  • Do not shampoo your hair for at least 4 hours after application.
  • Wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying the solution.
  • Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, or broken skin; if accidental contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of cool water.
  • Consistent use for 2 to 4 months may be required before noticing significant hair growth. Continuous application is necessary to maintain results.

• Side Effects:

  • Common: Itching, skin irritation, redness or scaling of the scalp, dryness, headache, changes in hair color/texture, and excessive hair growth (hypertrichosis), including unwanted facial or body hair. Temporary increase in hair shedding may occur at the start of treatment.
  • Serious (Seek medical attention): Chest pain, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, shortness of breath, swelling of feet or lower legs, or rash.

• Precautions:

  • Inform your doctor if you have allergies to Minoxidil or any other components.
  • Not recommended for individuals under 18 or over 65 years of age unless specifically advised by a doctor.

  • MORR 3% Solution is flammable; avoid smoking or proximity to naked flames during and after application until the product is dry.

Here are some frequently asked questions about MORR 3% SOLUTION 60 ML:

What is MORR 3% Solution used for?

MORR 3% Solution is primarily used for the treatment of hair loss, specifically common hereditary baldness known as androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness). It helps prevent further hair loss and stimulates hair regrowth. It is most effective for baldness or thinning at the top of the scalp, but less effective for a receding hairline or thinning at the front.

How does MORR 3% Solution work?

MORR 3% Solution contains Minoxidil, which is a vasodilator. It works by widening the blood vessels in the scalp, increasing blood flow to the hair follicles. This enhanced blood supply delivers more oxygen and nutrients to the follicles, which helps prevent hair cell death and stimulates new hair growth. It also prolongs the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle.

What is the usual dosage for MORR 3% Solution?

MORR 3% Solution is for external use only and should be applied directly to the scalp. The typical recommendation is to apply 1 ml of the solution to the affected areas of the scalp twice daily, usually in the morning and at night. Ensure your scalp is clean and dry before application. Do not exceed the recommended dose, as it will not accelerate hair growth and may increase the risk of side effects.

What are the possible side effects of MORR 3% Solution?

Common side effects include scalp irritation, burning, itching, redness of the scalp, dryness, flaking, and excessive hair growth in unintended areas like the face, arms, or back if accidental contact occurs. Other reported side effects include dizziness, headache, rash, dermatitis, and rarely, swelling of the feet or lower legs. Temporary shedding of hair may occur at the beginning of treatment, which is usually a sign that the medicine is working and new hair is growing. If side effects are bothersome or persist, consult your doctor.

Is MORR 3% Solution safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

MORR 3% Solution is generally not recommended for use during pregnancy as it may be unsafe and could affect the fetus. It is also probably unsafe during breastfeeding, as limited human data suggests the drug may pass into breast milk and harm the baby. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before using this medicine.

Can MORR 3% Solution be taken with other medications?

Do not use corticosteroids, tretinoin, or dithranol along with MORR 3% Solution, as it can lead to a fall in blood pressure. It's important to inform your doctor about all other medicines, herbal supplements, or skincare products you are using on your scalp to avoid potential interactions.

What precautions should be taken when using MORR 3% Solution?

MORR 3% Solution is for topical use on the scalp only. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, nose, or broken skin; if accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Do not use it on a shaved, irritated, inflamed, infected, or painful scalp. It is not recommended for individuals under 18 or over 65 years of age unless prescribed by a doctor. Inform your doctor if you have high blood pressure, heart disease (such as angina or a recent heart attack), or circulation disorders. Avoid using a hairdryer after application, as it may reduce the medicine's effectiveness. The solution is inflammable, so keep it away from fire or flame.

What happens if a dose is missed?

If you miss an application of MORR 3% Solution, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if your next dose is approaching, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not double the dose to compensate for a missed application.

How should MORR 3% Solution be stored?

Store MORR 3% Solution in a cool and dry place below 30°C. Do not freeze it. Keep the medicine out of the reach of children and pets. Keep it away from fire or flame as it is inflammable.
