My hair fall has increased significantly after stopping a four-month treatment of Minoxidil 2% topical solution; should I restart this medication or use an alternative product?

Asked by Female, 30 · 9 days ago

What you are experiencing is a common reaction called ?shedding,? which occurs when you stop Minoxidil. Minoxidil works by prolonging the hair growth phase; once stopped, the hair follicles return to their previous state, causing accelerated shedding. To regain and maintain your hair, you generally need to restart the Minoxidil 2% solution, as its benefits only last with continuous use. While alternatives exist, they may not be as effective. I highly recommend consulting your dermatologist before restarting or switching treatments to evaluate your scalp and discuss a sustainable long-term plan.
