Who qualifies for Minoxidil

Our EU-licensed doctors look for several factors to determine if Oral Minoxidil is appropriate for you. They assess your medical history for any contraindications, such as heart conditions, kidney disease, or certain medications you might be taking. They also evaluate the type and extent of your hair loss to ensure Oral Minoxidil is the right treatment path. While typically used for androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness), the doctor will confirm its suitability for your specific situation. Safety is paramount; if the doctor finds treatment inappropriate, they will inform you clearly.

What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)

Oral Minoxidil is primarily known for treating high blood pressure, but its side effect of stimulating hair growth has made it a popular off-label treatment for various forms of hair loss. It works by increasing blood flow to hair follicles and extending the hair growth phase. You can expect to see reduced hair shedding within the first few months, with visible regrowth typically appearing after 3-6 months. Maximum results are usually achieved within 6-12 months of consistent use. It's important to understand that Minoxidil doesn't cure the underlying cause of genetic hair loss, and continued use is necessary to maintain results. It also doesn't guarantee hair growth for everyone, nor will it restore hair to pre-hair loss levels in all cases.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Oral Minoxidil can have side effects. Common ones include low blood pressure, dizziness, increased heart rate, and fluid retention. Some people may also experience unwanted hair growth in other areas of the body. More serious side effects are rare but can include chest pain or difficulty breathing. Your doctor will discuss these with you during your consultation. It's crucial to report any concerning side effects immediately. If severe side effects occur, or if the treatment is not effective, your doctor will advise you on when and how to safely stop the medication.
