Is the effectiveness of Xandrox 15% Solution® superior to Xandrox 12.5% Lotion®?
A. It can be. It is well established that the effectiveness of topical minoxidil in treating MPB is dose related. In our test group, patients grew more hair using Xandrox 15% Solution® in areas where they had been using Xandrox 12.5% Lotion®. There appears to be a threshold level of stimulation with minoxidil to which follicles can be recruited to grow terminal hair again. This threshold level will vary considerably among patients depending primarily on their genetic predisposition to MPB and the length of time affected hair follicles have been miniaturized.
