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

Oral Minoxidil is prescribed for androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) in both men and women. When you consult with a Hi-Doctor EU-licensed doctor, they will assess several factors to determine if oral Minoxidil is appropriate for your case. The doctor looks for:

• Your full medical history, including any cardiovascular conditions or concerns.
• All current medications to check for potential interactions.
• The specific type and extent of your hair loss.
• Any contraindications that would make Minoxidil unsafe for you.

The doctor's review ensures your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment. Not everyone is a candidate for oral Minoxidil, and the doctor will always act in your best interest.

What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)

Oral Minoxidil works by widening blood vessels, which increases blood flow to hair follicles. This improved circulation delivers more oxygen and nutrients, stimulating hair growth and extending the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle. It helps to:

• Promote new hair growth.
• Thicken existing hair strands.
• Slow down or stop further hair loss.

Realistic timelines: You typically won't see results overnight. Initial shedding can occur in the first few weeks as old hairs make way for new growth. Noticeable improvement usually begins after 3–6 months of consistent use, with maximum results often seen around 12 months. Minoxidil is a long-term treatment; continued use is necessary to maintain benefits. It doesn't cure the underlying cause of hair loss, but it effectively manages its symptoms.

Side effects and when to stop

While generally well-tolerated at low doses, oral Minoxidil can have side effects. Common ones include:

• Hypertrichosis: Unwanted hair growth on other parts of the body (e.g., face, arms).
• Fluid retention: Swelling in the ankles, feet, or hands.
• Dizziness or lightheadedness: Due to its blood pressure-lowering effect.
• Tachycardia: Increased heart rate.

You should stop taking Minoxidil and consult your doctor immediately if you experience:

• Chest pain, shortness of breath, or palpitations.
• Sudden, unexplained weight gain or severe swelling.
• Significant or bothersome unwanted hair growth.
• Persistent dizziness or fainting spells.

Your Hi-Doctor physician will discuss potential side effects with you and monitor your progress during treatment.
