Who qualifies for Minoxidil

When you complete your medical questionnaire, our EU-licensed doctors assess several factors to determine if Oral Minoxidil is right for you. They look for specific types of hair loss, such as androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness). The doctor also considers your overall health, existing medical conditions, and any medications you currently take to ensure Minoxidil is safe and effective for your specific case. For instance, individuals with certain heart conditions or very low blood pressure may not be suitable candidates. Your doctor will ensure that the potential benefits outweigh any risks, always prioritising your safety.

What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)

Minoxidil works by widening blood vessels, which increases blood flow to your hair follicles. This improved circulation helps stimulate hair growth and can extend the growth phase of your hair cycle. While it was originally developed for blood pressure, its hair growth side effect made it a popular treatment for hair loss. You can expect to see a reduction in hair shedding within 1-3 months, with visible hair regrowth often appearing between 3-6 months. Significant improvements in hair density and thickness typically become noticeable after 6-12 months of consistent use. Minoxidil does not cure the underlying cause of genetic hair loss, so continuous use is usually required to maintain results. It also doesn't work for all types of hair loss, and results vary from person to person.

Side effects and when to stop

At low doses, Oral Minoxidil is generally well-tolerated. Common side effects can include increased hair growth in unwanted areas (hypertrichosis), mild fluid retention, or occasional headaches. Less common side effects, especially at low doses, might involve a slight decrease in blood pressure or an increased heart rate. Your doctor will discuss these potential effects during your consultation. You should stop taking Minoxidil and consult your doctor immediately if you experience chest pain, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, fainting, or sudden, unexplained weight gain and swelling in your hands or feet.
