How it works — get your Minoxidil prescription in 4 steps

3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect Minoxidil.

Who qualifies for Minoxidil

When you complete the online medical questionnaire, a licensed EU doctor carefully reviews your information. They look for specific criteria to determine if Minoxidil is a suitable and safe treatment for you. Minoxidil primarily treats androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness). The doctor assesses your medical history, current medications, and any pre-existing conditions that might contraindicate Minoxidil use. This thorough review ensures that if a prescription is issued, it is in your best health interest. We serve adult EU patients, and our EU-licensed doctors review every case individually.

What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)

Minoxidil works by widening blood vessels and increasing blood flow to hair follicles. This helps stimulate hair growth and prolongs the hair's growth phase. It comes in both topical and low-dose oral forms. It's important to have realistic expectations: Minoxidil can significantly slow down hair loss and promote regrowth, but it does not offer a permanent cure. Consistency is key, with visible results typically appearing after several months of regular use. Initial shedding can occur as old hairs make way for new growth, which is a normal part of the process. Full benefits are usually seen after 12 months.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Minoxidil can have side effects. Common side effects for topical Minoxidil include scalp irritation, dryness, itching, and unwanted hair growth in other areas if not applied carefully. Oral Minoxidil may lead to more systemic effects such as low blood pressure, dizziness, or fluid retention. It's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions and inform them immediately if you experience any concerning or severe side effects. If the side effects are persistent or severe, the doctor may advise you to stop treatment. Medical honesty builds trust and ensures your safety.
