How it works — get your Minoxidil prescription in 4 steps

1. Fill the online medical questionnaire. This takes 2–3 minutes. Then, pay the €25 consultation fee.

3. Receive your REMPE electronic prescription. If approved, you get an official REMPE electronic prescription (a downloadable PDF file) directly in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
4. Collect your Minoxidil at any EU pharmacy. Print the PDF prescription or show it on your phone at any pharmacy in the EU (including Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Ireland, etc.) to collect your medication.

Who qualifies for Minoxidil

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully evaluate each case to ensure Minoxidil is safe and appropriate for you. They look for specific criteria, including the type and extent of hair loss, your medical history, and any existing conditions or medications that might interact with Minoxidil. Contraindications will be thoroughly reviewed to ensure your safety.

What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)

Minoxidil is an FDA-approved topical treatment for hair loss, primarily androgenetic alopecia (male- and female-pattern baldness). It works by widening blood vessels and opening potassium channels, which allows more oxygen, blood, and nutrients to reach the hair follicles. This can stimulate hair growth and slow down hair loss. It's important to understand that Minoxidil doesn't cure baldness, and consistent use is required to maintain results. Visible improvements typically appear after 3–6 months of regular application.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Minoxidil can have side effects. Common side effects include scalp irritation, itching, dryness, or flaking. Less common but more serious side effects can include unwanted facial hair growth, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, or swelling of the hands and feet. If you experience any severe or concerning side effects, or if your condition worsens, you should stop using Minoxidil and consult a doctor immediately. Your Hi-Doctor physician can advise you on what to look for.
