Who qualifies for Minoxidil

Minoxidil treats androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) in both men and women. When you consult with an EU-licensed doctor at Hi-Doctor, they assess your medical history and current health. The doctor looks for specific criteria to ensure Minoxidil is safe and effective for you. This includes understanding the type and extent of your hair loss, any existing medical conditions, and medications you currently take. Contraindications may include certain heart conditions, scalp issues, or allergies to Minoxidil components. The doctor ensures Minoxidil is appropriate for your individual case before issuing a prescription.

What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)

Minoxidil works by widening blood vessels in your scalp, increasing blood flow to hair follicles. This helps stimulate dormant follicles and extends the growth phase of your hair. You can expect to see initial results, such as reduced hair shedding, within 2–4 months. Significant hair regrowth typically becomes noticeable after 6–12 months of consistent use. Minoxidil does not cure baldness; it manages hair loss and promotes regrowth as long as you continue treatment. If you stop using Minoxidil, any regrown hair may shed, and your hair loss can resume.

Side effects and when to stop

Most patients tolerate Minoxidil well. Common side effects for topical Minoxidil include scalp irritation, itching, dryness, or flaking. For oral Minoxidil, side effects can include increased heart rate, fluid retention, and unwanted hair growth on other body parts. If you experience severe reactions like chest pain, dizziness, fainting, swelling of hands or feet, or sudden, unexplained weight gain, stop using Minoxidil immediately and consult a doctor. Your Hi-Doctor physician provides guidance on managing side effects and monitors your progress.
