Question almost 5 years ago

Can Minoxy cause hair loss?

Dr. Kapil Sharma MBBS , General Physician

Yes, Minoxy may cause temporary hair loss for up to 2 weeks initially after starting of the treatment in few cases only. This is due to hair shifting from the resting phase to the growth phase. Consider this as a sign that your old hairs are falling so that new hairs can regrow in their place. If the hair loss continues for more than 2 weeks then you are advised to discuss it with your doctor.
