COMMON USES: Minoxidil is a prescription pill that has been shown in clinical studies to treat hair loss and increase hair growth. When taken consistently, this medicine can slow hair loss and promote hair growth for those with pattern hair loss. This medicine may be used for other purposes; ask your health care provider or pharmacist if you have questions.

HOW TO USE THIS MEDICINE: HOW IS THIS DRUG BEST TAKEN?

• - This is an oral tablet taken by mouth once a day. When initially starting oral minoxidil treatment, break each (2.5 mg) tablet into fourths and take just one (0.625 mg) dose per day. We recommend that you use a pill cutter that you can purchase on Amazon or find at your local retail pharmacy. After 10 weeks of treatment, if there are no side effects experienced, your provider may consider increasing your dosage to a half of a (2.5 mg) tablet per day for enhanced results. Do not increase dosage unless specifically instructed by your provider.
• - You can take it with or without food.
• - Try to take your doses around the same time everyday to maximize effectiveness.
• - Do not take this medicine more often than directed.
• - Continued use is necessary to increase and maintain your hair regrowth, or hair loss will begin again.
• - Overdosage: If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact a poison control center or emergency room at once.
