What is Minoxidil?
Minoxidil is an FDA-approved popular topical medication used to treat mild to moderate hair loss. It is one of the most effective hair loss treatments recommended by leading dermato-trichologists all around the world. Like any other medication, Minoxidil also has some side effects which are relatively minor.
Why does Minoxidil cause hair shedding?
Minoxidil works by affecting the stages of the hair growth cycle - anagen phase and telogen phase. When minoxidil is first applied to the hair roots, it may affect every person differently. In some cases, individuals may develop a rash or irritation at the site of its application. In other cases, some users may report excessive hair shedding when they first use it. This is completely normal.
Minoxidil works by speeding up the resting and growth phases of your hair growth cycle. This means that your hair will start shedding faster than it normally would. At the same time, minoxidil extends the growth phase. This also means that new hair will replace the lost hair faster than usual.
Not everyone will experience increased hair shedding. In some cases, it may not at all occur while in others, the shedding may get severe. It should be understood that this is a common side effect and there is no need to worry about it. As per research, about 12 to 17% of users will experience increased hair shedding after using Minoxidil in the initial days.
How long does Minoxidil shedding last?
Hair shedding as a side effect of minoxidil varies from person to person. The excessive shedding of hair lasts about two to eight weeks initially after you begin to use Minoxidil. This should not be a cause of concern or disappointment. You should not stop using the minoxidil solution. Instead, follow the doctor’s instructions carefully and keep applying the solution to the affected area. After a few weeks of using minoxidil, you will see visible improvement in hair density and thickness.
Should you see the doctor if you keep noticing excessive hair shedding due to minoxidil use?
In most cases, hair shedding from minoxidil only remains for the initial four weeks. However, it is important to notify your doctor about the same. It is also important to use minoxidil in the prescribed quantity and not overuse it. If hair shedding remains after one month and gets severe, it is important to tell your doctor about it. If the shedding is accompanied by irritation, persistent redness, any gray or yellow discharge, etc. then let your doctor know about it. He may ask you to discontinue it or change the medication as per the hair loss you are experiencing.
