Who qualifies for Minoxidil

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually to ensure Minoxidil is safe and appropriate for you. They will look for indications like androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) and rule out contraindications or underlying conditions that might make Minoxidil unsuitable. The medical questionnaire helps the doctor understand your medical history, current health status, and other medications you might be taking. This thorough review ensures patient safety and treatment efficacy.

What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)

Minoxidil is a topical medication primarily used to treat androgenetic alopecia in both men and women. It works by widening blood vessels and opening potassium channels, which is thought to increase blood flow to the hair follicles and promote hair growth. It can also help to increase the size of hair follicles and prolong the anagen (growth) phase of hair. Minoxidil does not cure pattern baldness; it manages the condition. Consistent use is required to maintain results, and noticeable improvement generally takes at least 4–6 months of daily application. It is most effective for recent hair loss and in individuals under 40 years of age.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Minoxidil can have side effects, though they are usually mild. Common side effects include scalp irritation, itching, dryness, flaking, and unwanted hair growth on other parts of the body. Less common but more serious side effects can include dizziness, rapid heartbeat, fainting, chest pain, swelling of hands or feet, and sudden unexplained weight gain. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, or if your condition worsens, you should stop using Minoxidil and consult a doctor. Our doctors provide clear guidance on what to watch for.
