Stopping minoxidil
I am using minoxidil since last 8 months. My hair is almost back to normal if not more. So how should i stop using?? Should i continue once a day for 2 months??
It 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.

Minoxidil has to be tapered , which can be decided on the basis of the %concentration that you are using . A proper hair analysis should be done and treatments can be planned for reduction of hair fall and to stimulate hair growth . You can visit us at the clinic or do an online consultation .
