Hair fall problem
I have been using minoxidil since 5 years but I think I should stop it now. I started it after I was admitted to hospital for jaundice and faced severe hairfall after that. I tried stopping it a year later but faced more hairfall again and since then I haven't stopped . Now I will get married and plan a baby and I want to stop it. Now I have reduced the usage from twice daily to thrice a week. I feel after 3 years it has stopped working efficiently as it used to. So kindly help me

Hello, Minoxidil has to be used on a daily basis. Also once you stop applying and restart it after long time, hairfall in first 3 months is normal.
Would recommend to start taking oral medications and procedures also.
That would definitely help.
Do a proper consult for better clarity of all the medications and procedures.
