Online consultations have such limitations as discussion about the medications is often incomplete. Minoxidil is for indefinite usage and has to become a part of life. Further information is in the following weblink https://www.aad.org/public/diseases/hair-and-scalp-problems/hair-loss
Next Steps
On Starting the usage of Minoxidil, there can be increased hair fall but it stops in two weeks.
