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 (including France) to collect Minoxidil.

Who qualifies for Minoxidil

When you complete your medical questionnaire, the EU-licensed doctor carefully assesses your case. They look for specific criteria to ensure oral Minoxidil is safe and effective for you. This includes your overall health, medical history, and any current medications. Conditions such as heart disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or certain kidney issues may be contraindications. The doctor also considers the type and extent of your hair loss to determine if oral Minoxidil is the right treatment option for your specific case.

What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)

Oral Minoxidil works by widening blood vessels, which increases blood flow to your hair follicles. This improved circulation stimulates hair growth, extends the hair growth phase, and can lead to thicker, denser hair. It's primarily used for androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness). You can expect to see initial results within a few months, with more significant improvement over 6–12 months. It does not cure the underlying cause of hair loss, so consistent use is necessary to maintain results. Minoxidil does not work for all types of hair loss, and individual responses vary.

Side effects and when to stop

Like any medication, oral Minoxidil has potential side effects. Common ones include hypertrichosis (unwanted hair growth on other body areas), fluid retention (swelling), lower blood pressure, and an increased heart rate. Headaches can also occur. Serious side effects are rare but can involve cardiovascular issues. If you experience chest pain, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, or sudden swelling, stop taking the medication and seek immediate medical attention. Your doctor will discuss all potential side effects and monitor you throughout your treatment.
