Minovivax 5% a Alpicort E
Good morning
The dermatologist prescribed me Minovivax 5. I have a bottle of Alpicort E at home. Can I use it instead of Minovivax?

Minovivax 5% and Alpicort E are two completely different medicines with different active ingredients. They should not be used interchangeably.
Minovivax 5% contains minoxidil, which affects hair growth and at the same time inhibits hair loss.
Alpicort E contains estradiol benzoate with properties similar to estradiol, reducing the formation of dihydrotestosterone; anti-inflammatory prednisolone and keratoplastic and antimicrobial salicylic acid.
