About the medicine

What it is and how it works

Minoxidil prolongs the anagen (growth) phase of the hair follicle and increases hair diameter. Topical is the standard in mild-to-moderate androgenetic alopecia; low-dose oral (off-label, under medical supervision) is an alternative when adherence to topical is poor or the response is insufficient.

It's frequently combined with a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor: minoxidil stimulates the follicle while finasteride or dutasteride blocks the hormonal cause. The doctor decides the form and the combination based on your history and pattern of loss.

Who it is for

  • Topical or oral, depending on your case
  • Stimulates the follicle's growth phase

How does minoxidil work for hair?
Minoxidil prolongs the anagen phase of the follicle and increases hair diameter. It is used topically or, under medical supervision, orally at low doses when topical is insufficient.
Topical is the standard in mild-to-moderate androgenetic alopecia. Low-dose oral (off-label) is an alternative when adherence to topical is poor or response is insufficient. Each has its own side-effect profile.
More questions
Topical: scalp irritation, local hypertrichosis. Oral (low dose): fluid retention, mild palpitations, facial hypertrichosis. The doctor prescribes the form most appropriate for you.
Yes, a frequent combination. Minoxidil stimulates the follicle and the 5-AR inhibitor blocks the hormonal cause. The doctor decides based on your history and the loss pattern.
Write to your doctor in the private chat in your account: describe what you notice and when it started. The doctor can adjust the plan, pause it or suggest another option. If you have severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or chest pain, call 112 or go to an emergency department straight away.
It depends on what you take. List every medicine, supplement and herbal product in the questionnaire, including ones you use only occasionally. The doctor checks for interactions before prescribing, and your pharmacist checks again when you collect Rogaine.
The doctor can consider another hair-loss treatment, a different form (tablet or solution) or a combination, depending on your pattern of loss and history. Some cases, such as sudden or patchy hair loss, need an in-person dermatologist, and the doctor tells you so.
You can message your doctor in the private chat at any time. Hair treatments take months to show an effect, so the doctor reviews progress and tolerance at each renewal, often with new scalp photos, and adjusts the plan if needed.
Yes. Hi-Doctor runs 100 % online across the EU, so if you live in Madrid you can fill in the questionnaire and receive the medical review without travelling. The electronic prescription issued by the licensed doctor is valid in any EU pharmacy under Directive 2011/24/EU; in Spain it is dispensed directly from the prescription QR.
Through the pattern of loss, how long it has been progressing, family history and current medication. In some cases we ask for scalp photos. The doctor proposes a tailored treatment plan and adjusts it to your tolerance.
The private electronic prescription (Receta Médica Privada Electrónica) is issued by a licensed doctor in Spain. It is a PDF carrying every field required by EU Directive 2011/24/EU (patient, prescriber with country of registration, active ingredient, dose), which makes it legally recognised across all 27 EU member states. In Spanish pharmacies it is dispensed from the QR; outside Spain, the pharmacist dispenses the locally marketed equivalent of the same active ingredient.
