How does Minoxidil work?

Similar to the topical form of Minoxidil, oral Minoxidil works by relaxing the blood vessels through a process called vasodilation. This relaxation widens blood vessels, improving blood flow and delivering essential nutrients and oxygen.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to take minoxidil tablets?

These tablets can be taken with or without food. Consult your doctor to determine if any of your other medications should be taken at the same time.

Is it safe to consume alcohol while on oral minoxidil?

To minimize the chances of experiencing dizziness or fainting, particularly for older patients, avoid getting up rapidly from a sitting or standing position. Alcohol consumption can intensify dizziness, flushing, and rapid heartbeats. Hence, it is advisable to refrain from drinking alcoholic beverages. Additionally, you may also experience dryness in your mouth.

Is it better to take minoxidil tablets with or without food?

Minoxidil tablets can be taken with or without food. If you experience any stomach upset, it is advisable to take them with food.

Can you take Minoxidil tablets for female hair loss?

If you suffer from female pattern hair loss we suggest trying the Regaine for women solution or the Regaine for women extra strength foam. The solution contains Minoxidil 2%, the foam 5% Minoxidil and both can be bought without a prescription.
