Who qualifies for Minoxidil

Our EU-licensed doctors individually review each case to ensure Minoxidil is safe and appropriate for you. Generally, Minoxidil is prescribed for androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss) in men and women. The doctor will assess your medical history, current health conditions, and any other medications you are taking. Important considerations include:

• Age: Generally prescribed for adults.
• Underlying Health Conditions: Certain heart conditions or blood pressure issues may be contraindications.
• Other Medications: Potential interactions will be checked.
• Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Minoxidil is typically not recommended.

The doctor's decision is always based on your individual health profile to ensure your safety and treatment efficacy.

What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)

Minoxidil is a topical treatment that works by widening blood vessels and opening potassium channels, which helps to increase blood flow to hair follicles. This can stimulate hair growth and prevent further hair loss. It prolongs the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle and causes follicles to grow thicker, stronger hairs.

What it does:

• Helps to regrow hair and slow down hair loss in individuals with pattern baldness.
• Effective for both men and women.
• Available in different strengths (e.g., 2% and 5%).

What it doesn't do:

• It's not a cure for baldness; continued use is necessary to maintain results.
• Does not work for all types of hair loss (e.g., alopecia areata, hair loss due to chemotherapy).
• Results are not immediate; noticeable improvement typically takes 4–6 months of consistent use.

Side effects and when to stop

While generally well-tolerated, Minoxidil can cause side effects. Common side effects include scalp irritation, dryness, flaking, itching, or redness. You might also experience unwanted hair growth on other parts of the body if the product drips or is applied incorrectly. Less common but more serious side effects can include lightheadedness, dizziness, rapid heart rate, or swelling of hands and feet.

When to stop: You should stop using Minoxidil and consult a doctor if you experience:

• Chest pain, rapid heartbeat, or fainting.
• Sudden, unexplained weight gain.
• Swelling of the hands or feet.
• Severe scalp irritation or allergic reaction.
• No improvement after 4–6 months of consistent use.

Always follow your doctor's instructions and the product leaflet.
