Who qualifies for Minoxidil

Our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to determine if low-dose oral Minoxidil is the right treatment for you. This includes a review of your medical history, current medications, and the type of hair loss you are experiencing. Minoxidil is primarily used for androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness). The doctor will assess your overall health to ensure there are no contraindications such as certain heart conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or specific sensitivities to Minoxidil. Your safety is our priority, and the doctor will only issue a prescription if it's medically appropriate for your individual case.

What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)

Minoxidil works by expanding blood vessels, which increases blood flow to hair follicles. This prolongs the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle, leading to thicker, stronger hair. It can also stimulate dormant follicles to re-enter the growth phase. It's important to understand that Minoxidil is not a cure for hair loss, but rather a treatment that helps manage and slow its progression. Realistic timelines for seeing results typically range from 4 to 6 months of consistent use, with peak effects often observed after 12 months. It does not work for all types of hair loss, and results vary from person to person. It also doesn't prevent future hair loss if treatment is stopped.

Side effects and when to stop

While low-dose oral Minoxidil is generally well-tolerated, it can have side effects. The most common is hypertrichosis, or unwanted hair growth on other parts of the body, such as the face. Other potential side effects include fluid retention (swelling), headaches, dizziness, or a rapid heart rate. If you experience persistent or severe side effects, especially chest pain, significant swelling, or lightheadedness, you should stop taking Minoxidil and consult your doctor immediately. Our doctors will discuss these risks with you during your review and advise on appropriate monitoring.
