Minoxidil Tips from Pharmacists

  • Make sure you purchase the correct product. Minoxidil formulations for men and women are different.

  • Massage the medicine into your scalp in the area of hair loss and not into your hair.

  • Wash your hands after applying minoxidil. If the medicine gets into your eyes, wash with large amounts of cool tap water.

  • It can take 4 months or longer to see noticeable results from minoxidil. Tell your doctor if you don’t notice a difference after 4 months of regular use.
