MINOXIDIL - good or bad

2024-01-17 12:21:47
Hi Doctor - I am having severe hairfall but haven’t been diagnosed with PCOD as such since my periods are normal (more or less). The dermatologists I consulted in India have suggested me a few supplements (Iron and vitamin D). In addition to that, they have suggested me to start using MINOXIDIL. As I am a 31YO, I wanted to check if the medicine has any sort of side effects, especially from a hormonal standpoint. Also, I’m asthmatic and live in London :) Could you please help me with this?

Yes supplements can be used along with topical minoxidil... But the problem with minoxidil is that the hair growth is seen only untill u stay on treatment.. once u stop u might see hairfall again... N basically identifying the cause for hairfall is important, any stressors, illness in the recent past
