Oral minoxidil for thinning hair

Oral minoxidil is taken once daily, with your dose set by your provider based on your medical history, blood pressure, tolerability and response.

Results take time. Some people notice extra shedding in the first few weeks. Visible improvement may begin around 3 to 6 months, with fuller results often taking 6 to 12 months.

Continued treatment is generally needed to maintain results.
