Does 5% minoxidil increase hairfall
I have started using minoxidil from about a month now and I'm seeing increased hairfall before minoxidil hairfall was about 70 to 100 but now it has increased to 120 hairs falling per day and also does excessive sweating cause hairfall.

Tab. E Clat H: once a day after dinner for 4 months
E Clat shampoo: wash hair 4 days a week followed by application of Le Dore Kerabond infusion mist on towel dried hair 4 days a week for 4 months
It is normal to have increased hairfall post Minoxidil (5%) usage as it takes some time for the body to accept the medications. It will stabilise slowly
Having the oral tabs and the shampoo and serum will strengthen the hair from the root, will reduce breakage and improve dullness of hair
Next Steps
The above medicines are not available at any pharmacy as they come under the category of Cosmetic Dermatology.

Minoxidil causes hairfall for first 1-2 months as old hair comes out and new hair starts to grow. Increase of hairfall is actually a good sign that drug is working and you will have good result in future. Wait 3-6 months to see new growth.
