Droping after stop
Hello
I have 3 Questions. Upto what extent do we loose hair once monixidil is dis-continued ? Is it all the hair or will it come to the point when I started the medication ? Is there is reduced dosage once the hair is grown ?
Thanks in adavance
Stopping minoxidil is like letting your car run out of gas. Without minoxidil to keep follicles stimulated, the follicles will go back into a 'resting phase' and continue their miniaturizing path towards permanent loss. If you are male, you should consider propecia in conjunction with minoxidil 5%. The proper dosage is 1ml twice daily--until further notice.
Sincerely,
Dr. B.
