Female pattern hair loss

I am 26 and diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I have female pattern hair loss which is increasing day by day. I am currently taking medicine for thyroid and having iron suppliments as in a blood report the iron level showed too low. Is minoxidil a good option to treat this baldness?
