Who qualifies for Minoxidil

When considering a Minoxidil prescription, the EU-licensed doctor looks for specific criteria. Minoxidil is primarily prescribed for androgenetic alopecia, also known as female pattern hair loss. The doctor will assess your medical history, current health status, and the pattern and severity of your hair loss. They will ensure there are no contraindications such as allergies to Minoxidil, certain heart conditions, or pregnancy/breastfeeding. Your eligibility is determined by a thorough, individual medical review to ensure safety and efficacy.

What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)

Minoxidil is a topical treatment that works by revitalizing hair follicles and stimulating hair growth. It's believed to widen blood vessels, allowing more oxygen, blood, and nutrients to reach the hair follicles. This process can prolong the anagen (growth) phase of hair follicles, leading to thicker, stronger hair over time. What it doesn't do is cure the underlying cause of hair loss; it manages the symptoms. Results are not instantaneous; you typically need to use it consistently for at least 3-6 months to see noticeable improvements. Stopping treatment usually results in a return to your previous hair loss pattern.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Minoxidil can have side effects. Most commonly, users experience scalp irritation, including dryness, itching, or redness. Some women may notice unwanted hair growth on other areas of the face or body if the product is not applied carefully. An initial shedding phase, where hair loss temporarily increases, is also common in the first few weeks as old hairs make way for new growth. Rarely, systemic effects like dizziness or rapid heartbeat can occur if too much is absorbed. If you experience severe scalp irritation, chest pain, rapid heartbeat, faintness, or sudden unexplained weight gain, stop using Minoxidil immediately and consult a doctor. Your Hi Doctor physician is available for private consultation through your secure account chat if you have any concerns.
