How it works — get your Minoxidil prescription in 4 steps

1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the €25 consultation fee. Provide your medical history and details about your hair loss. This secure form helps our EU-licensed doctors understand your needs.
2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate for you, your €25 fee is **refunded automatically** — no risk. You pay nothing if the doctor says no.
3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (a downloadable PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours. This is Spain's official digital-private-prescription standard.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect Minoxidil. This includes pharmacies in the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Germany, Belgium, and Austria.

Who qualifies for Minoxidil

Our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to determine if oral Minoxidil is appropriate for you. They assess your medical history, current medications, and the type and extent of your hair loss. Minoxidil is primarily prescribed for androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) in both men and women. Contraindications include certain heart conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, and known hypersensitivity to Minoxidil. The doctor ensures there are no underlying health issues that would make Minoxidil unsafe for you, prioritizing your safety above all else.

What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)

Oral Minoxidil works by widening blood vessels, which increases blood flow to the hair follicles on your scalp. This enhanced blood supply delivers more nutrients and oxygen, stimulating dormant follicles and promoting hair growth. It helps to increase hair density and thickness and can slow down further hair loss. You typically start seeing results within 3 to 6 months of consistent use. Minoxidil does not cure the underlying cause of pattern baldness, so continued use is necessary to maintain results. It also does not typically cause hair growth in areas other than the scalp when taken orally at low doses.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, oral Minoxidil can have side effects. Common ones include mild scalp irritation, increased facial hair (hypertrichosis), or changes in hair texture. Less common but more serious side effects can include dizziness, rapid heartbeat (palpitations), or swelling in the hands and feet due to fluid retention. It's crucial to inform your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. If you notice significant changes in your blood pressure, persistent swelling, chest pain, or severe dizziness, you should stop the medication and seek medical advice immediately. Our doctors provide clear guidance on what to watch for.
