Brand names: Rogaine

How Minoxidil Works
Minoxidil is a vasodilator — it widens blood vessels and increases blood flow to hair follicles. This delivers more oxygen and nutrients to follicles, extending the growth phase of the hair cycle and increasing follicle size. The exact mechanism for hair growth is not fully understood, but the clinical results are well-documented.
What to Expect
Minoxidil requires consistent daily application. Initial shedding (a sign it's working) may occur in weeks 2-6. Visible new growth typically appears after 3-6 months. Like finasteride, it must be used continuously — stopping will reverse gains.

Minoxidil — Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a prescription for minoxidil?
▾
Standard minoxidil (2% or 5%) is available over-the-counter. However, some telehealth brands offer prescription-strength formulations or custom compounds that combine minoxidil with finasteride — these do require a prescription.
Is oral minoxidil better than topical?
▾
Low-dose oral minoxidil is increasingly prescribed off-label for hair loss and some studies suggest it may be more effective than topical. However, it carries a higher risk of systemic side effects (including cardiovascular). It's only available by prescription.
