    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.

If the hair loss continues for more than 2 weeks then you are advised to discuss it with your doctor.
