4. Pick up your Minoxidil at any EU pharmacy with your valid prescription.

Who qualifies for Minoxidil

Minoxidil is an effective treatment for androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) in both men and women. Our EU-licensed doctors assess several factors to determine if Minoxidil is appropriate for you:

• Your medical history and current medications.
• The type and extent of your hair loss.
• Any existing scalp conditions or sensitivities.
• Potential contraindications, such as certain heart conditions or allergies to Minoxidil components.

The doctor ensures Minoxidil is safe and suitable for your specific situation before issuing a prescription.

What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)

Minoxidil works by widening blood vessels in your scalp, increasing blood flow to hair follicles. This delivers more oxygen and nutrients, stimulating dormant follicles and prolonging the hair growth (anagen) phase. You can expect:

• Reduced hair shedding: Often seen within the first few months.
• New hair growth: Visible after 3–6 months of consistent use.
• Thicker, stronger hair: Maximum results typically appear after 12–18 months.

Minoxidil requires consistent, long-term use. If you stop treatment, any new hair growth will likely reverse within a few months. It treats existing hair loss and encourages new growth, but it doesn't cure the underlying cause of pattern baldness.

Side effects and when to stop

While generally safe, Minoxidil can have side effects. Common side effects of topical Minoxidil include scalp irritation, dryness, itching, or unwanted facial hair growth. Oral Minoxidil may cause more systemic effects such as fluid retention, mild changes in blood pressure, or increased heart rate. It's crucial to:

• Follow your doctor's instructions carefully.
• Report any persistent or severe side effects immediately to your doctor.
• Stop using Minoxidil and seek medical advice if you experience chest pain, dizziness, fainting, swelling in hands or feet, or sudden, unexplained weight gain.

Your doctor will discuss potential side effects during your consultation.
