Hey guys
A few months back I had pretty bad hairfall along with heavy dandruff. I managed to get the dandruff under control using a ketoconazole + salicylic acid shampoo.

After that I started using MX 5% solution (around ₹1000) along with Qsera serum and used it consistently for ~2 months. Honestly, it worked better than I expected—got baby hairs on my temples, hair felt thicker, and overall density improved.

Then JEE prep got intense and I kinda stopped everything didn’t think much of it at the time, but now I’ve lost most of that regrowth, especially around the temples.

So I’m planning to restart minoxidil again, but ₹1000/month is a bit hard to keep up long term. I’ve heard the active ingredient is the same across brands, so cheaper ones should work too—but not sure which ones are actually reliable.

I m thinking to get Morr 5% from truemeds if anyone have used it can you please drop reviews

Just wanted to ask:

Any good other Minoxidil 5% brands in the ₹400–600 range?
Do cheaper ones perform the same in your experience?

Would really appreciate any suggestions or personal experiences 🙏

Hey guys, Earlier I had pretty bad hairfall along with heavy dandruff, but I managed to get the dandruff under control using a ketoconazole + salicylic acid shampoo.

After that, I used MX 5% solution (costs ~₹1000) along with Qsera serum consistently for around 2 months, and I actually saw solid results—baby hairs on temples, improved density, and overall thicker hair.

But then JEE prep hit hard 💀 and I stopped everything. With stress + stopping minoxidil, I’ve now lost most of that regrowth.

So I’m planning to restart minoxidil again, but this time I’m looking for more budget-friendly options (~₹500 ±100) because MX is kinda expensive to sustain long-term.

MX 5% is also alcohol based and i didnt felt too much irrigation just a lil bit

Questions:

Which Minoxidil 5% brands are reliable and affordable in India?
Are cheaper/generic ones equally effective?
Should i use any Serum as well?

Would really appreciate your suggestions/experiences 🙏
