Don't stop minoxidil abruptly else it can lead to more hair loss gradually. It can b tapered with time gradually and can b supplemented with Growth factors and peptides to maintain and improve the loss of hair. Oral medication is also imperative to improve the hair loss. Consult a Dermatologist for the same.
