What is the most important information that I should know about oral minoxidil for the treatment of male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia):
Oral minoxidil is FDA-approved for the treatment of high blood pressure
Low-dose oral minoxidil is used by dermatologists off-label to treat male pattern hair loss
The efficacy and safety of low-dose oral minoxidil to promote hair growth is supported by clinical evidence including clinical trials
This tablet was formulated with dermatologists who have determined a dosage of biotin 2.5 mg as appropriate when combined with oral minoxidil. It is not recommended that you take additional biotin supplements. High doses of biotin (5 mg or higher) may interfere with certain lab tests, including specific tests to aid in heart attack diagnosis.
Minoxidil is suspected to be TOXIC TO CATS AND DOGS. Please do not allow cats, dogs, or other pets to ingest this
Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not use oral minoxidil for the treatment of your male pattern hair loss if you:
Are allergic to oral minoxidil
Are allergic to biotin, vitamin B5, vitamin B6, or vitamin C
If any of the following apply to you, please speak with a healthcare provider in person about seeking treatment for your male pattern hair loss:
Younger than 18 years of age
Have heart, kidney or liver disease
Have pheochromocytoma
Individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not take oral minoxidil.
These are some of the more common side effects of oral minoxidil:
Hypertrichosis, or increased hair growth on the face or body
Lightheadedness
Palpitations or tachycardia
Headaches
Leg swelling or fluid retention (edema)
Swelling around the eyes
Insomnia
Nausea
If you experience any of the above side effects, contact your provider as you may benefit from a dose adjustment or change in treatment. Oral minoxidil can cause early hair shedding as beneficial hair cycling is triggered. This is an expected side effect that will improve with continued minoxidil use.
Seek emergency medical care if you experience any of these side effects:
New or worsening chest pain
Shortness of breath
Sudden changes to your vision or hearing
Very severe heartburn The above symptoms may be signs of a more serious reaction.
These are not all of the possible side effects of oral minoxidil. For more information, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist. Contact your healthcare provider for medical advice about side effects. You can message a healthcare provider through your Hers account if you have any questions about your treatment, including any side effects you may be experiencing.
