How it works — get your Minoxidil prescription in 4 steps

Who qualifies for Minoxidil

Our EU-licensed doctors review each case individually. They look for specific criteria to determine if Oral Minoxidil is an appropriate treatment for your hair loss. Generally, doctors consider your medical history, current medications, and the type and extent of your hair loss. Contraindications, such as certain heart conditions or allergies to Minoxidil, are carefully checked to ensure your safety. The doctor's primary goal is to ensure the treatment is safe and effective for you.

What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)

Oral Minoxidil works by widening blood vessels and increasing blood flow to your hair follicles, which helps stimulate hair growth. It's an effective treatment for various types of hair loss, particularly androgenetic alopecia. You can expect to see initial results, like reduced shedding and some new growth, within 2–3 months. Significant improvements in hair density typically appear after 6 months of consistent use. It's important to understand that Minoxidil requires ongoing use to maintain results; stopping treatment will likely lead to a return of hair loss. It doesn't cure the underlying cause of hair loss, but it effectively manages its symptoms.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Oral Minoxidil can have side effects. Common ones include initial hair shedding (which usually resolves), headache, and unwanted hair growth in other areas. More serious, though rare, side effects can include changes in blood pressure, fluid retention, or heart palpitations. If you experience any severe or concerning side effects, contact a doctor immediately. Our doctors will discuss potential side effects with you and advise on when to seek further medical attention or stop the medication.
