Looking for a Minoxidil prescription online in Spain, Portugal, or any other EU country? You've landed in the right place.

How it works — get your Minoxidil prescription in 4 steps

1. Fill the online medical questionnaire in just 2–3 minutes and pay the €25 consultation fee.
2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate, your €25 fee is refunded automatically — no risk.
3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (a downloadable PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU (Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Ireland, etc.) to collect your Minoxidil.

Who qualifies for Minoxidil

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully review your medical history to ensure Minoxidil is safe and effective for you. They assess specific criteria, including the type and extent of hair loss (primarily androgenetic alopecia), your overall health, and any pre-existing conditions or medications that might interact. This individual assessment ensures the treatment is appropriate for your specific case, prioritising your safety and treatment efficacy. The doctor remains the gatekeeper to your prescription.

What Minoxidil actually does (and doesn't do)

Minoxidil is a topical medication that helps stimulate hair growth and slow hair loss. It works by widening blood vessels in the scalp, increasing blood flow to hair follicles. This enhanced blood supply delivers more oxygen and nutrients, encouraging follicles to enter and prolong their growth phase. You won't see results overnight; consistent daily application is key. Most patients begin to see noticeable improvement in hair density and reduced shedding after 3–6 months of continuous use. Minoxidil doesn't cure baldness, and results vary. It requires ongoing use to maintain its effects; stopping treatment typically leads to a reversal of gained hair within a few months.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Minoxidil can have side effects. Common ones include scalp irritation, itching, dryness, or flaking where applied. Some users may experience unwanted hair growth on other parts of the body if the product drips or is transferred. Less common but more serious side effects can include dizziness, rapid heartbeat, or swelling of hands and feet. If you experience any severe or concerning side effects, or if your scalp irritation persists or worsens, you should stop using Minoxidil and consult with a doctor immediately. Our EU-licensed doctors are available via your private account chat if you have any questions or concerns during your treatment.
