Can minioxidil side effects make us loose more hairs?? I was not lossing hairs before but they were thin so my doctor gives me minioxdil but my initial shed does not stop till 4 month so I stopped it but after stopping also I am continuing lossing my hairs why so ?? I know it is due to minioxdil because I have not taken any other medicine for hairs nor I have pcod PCOS problems and before minioxdil there was no hairfall now I am shedding a lot daily I don't need any harmone therapy as there is no other disturbance in my body please tell me what should I do

It's initial period..but specific medicine required depends on the grade...You are suffering from hormonal changes causing Androgenetic alopecia causing hair fall. It's completely stoppable even regrowth of hair is possible with certain medications without any side effects. Treatment depends on the grade of hair loss. So, it's a must for diagnosing which grade, you are in for an effective treatment. Please  send photos of your head, by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.

Any local therapy  alone will  not  control hair loss.Hais shedding  after minoxidil  stoppage  is for 10 week  only.  In your  case internal factors  leading  to  hair loss needs to be  thoroughly  investigated.   Go for  online  consultations  with  practo

Yes. Minoxidil initially causes hairloss. But if it continues better stop using and start with a good serum
