Can MX-5 lotion and KZ Lotion cause serious side effects?
Patient: Hi doctor.I am 30 years old. I am facing hairloss problem. I have consulted a dermatologist and he prescribed me to use MX-5 lotion twice in a day and Foliglo tablets daily one and KZ Lotion/Shampoo twice in a week. I heard MX-5 lotion and KZ Lotion/Shampoo may cause serious side effects. Is it true? Also want to know about Foliglo. Doctor: Hi, MX 5 lotion (Minoxidil) is a local vasodilator, means it will increase blood flow to the area it is applied, but it is known to get systemically absorbed, so you have to be cautious while applying it, like do not rub it much on the scalp, wash your hands after the application and it will work like wonder for you.Few other side effects are slight burning and redness at the application area but they are minor once. and kz lotion (ketoconazole) is an antifungal agent. Don't worry about it, it doesn't have any serious side effects. You can use both of them very effectively.I hope this was helpful to you.
