Hello Your doctor must have already instructed you how to use it Minoxidil alone doesn't work in every case of alopecia It is advisable to use minoxidil once a day on clean scalp Minoxidil can lead to initial hairfall which is common because of hastening of shedding of existing hair already in telogen stage Again duration depends on type and response of treatment
