Who qualifies for Minoxidil

Our EU-licensed doctors assess your suitability for oral Minoxidil based on your medical history and current health. They look for specific criteria, including the type and extent of your hair loss, to determine if Minoxidil is the right treatment for you. Conditions like androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness) are commonly treated. However, certain contraindications, such as specific cardiovascular conditions or allergies to Minoxidil, may prevent a prescription. The doctor prioritises your safety and only prescribes if it's medically appropriate for your individual case.

What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)

Oral Minoxidil works by widening blood vessels and stimulating hair follicles, which can lead to increased blood flow, delivering vital nutrients to your scalp. This process prolongs the hair growth phase, helping dormant follicles become active again. You can expect to see initial results, like reduced shedding and new, fine hair growth, within 3–6 months. Significant improvements in hair density and thickness typically appear around 12 months of consistent use. Minoxidil is not a cure for hair loss; it manages the condition. If you stop treatment, hair loss will likely resume.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, oral Minoxidil can have side effects, though they are generally mild at the low doses used for hair loss. The most common side effect is hypertrichosis (unwanted hair growth) in other areas of the body, which is usually dose-dependent. Some patients may experience an initial temporary shedding phase, a sign that the medication is working. Less common side effects can include dizziness, headaches, or heart palpitations. Your doctor will discuss these with you. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, you should stop the medication and consult your doctor immediately via the private chat in your Hi-Doctor.ai account.
