Who qualifies for Minoxidil

Our EU-licensed doctors determine if Minoxidil is appropriate for you. Minoxidil is typically prescribed for androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness). The doctor will assess your medical history, current health conditions, and any other medications you are taking to ensure Minoxidil is safe and effective for your use. Contraindications include allergies to Minoxidil, certain heart conditions, and pregnancy or breastfeeding. You must be an adult patient to qualify. The doctor's review ensures your safety and the treatment's efficacy, always prioritising your well-being.

What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)

Minoxidil is a topical treatment designed to stimulate hair growth and slow down hair loss. It works by widening blood vessels and opening potassium channels, allowing more oxygen, blood, and nutrients to reach the hair follicles. This process can prolong the growth phase of hair follicles, leading to thicker, stronger hair over time. You typically apply Minoxidil directly to the scalp. Realistic timelines for results vary, but most users see noticeable changes after 3–6 months of consistent use. Minoxidil does not cure baldness; it manages it. If you stop using it, hair loss may resume.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Minoxidil can have side effects. Common side effects include scalp irritation, dryness, itching, or flaking. Some people may experience increased hair shedding during the first few weeks of treatment – this is usually temporary and indicates the medication is beginning to work. Less common but more serious side effects include dizziness, rapid heartbeat, chest pain, or swelling of hands and feet. If you experience any severe or concerning side effects, stop using Minoxidil and consult a doctor immediately.
