Hello doc, my doc recommended me to use minoxidil 5% twice 1 ml daily morning and night for hair loss. But it's already the 12th day and i'm facing some side effects of minoxidil like heart palpitation, increased rate of heart beat, some dizziness, loss of appetite and my head is feeling a bit heavy and getting headache, I can't sleep properly during night. I really can not take these side effects as it is messing up with my daily routine and life. Please tell me what to do right now. I have already quit minoxidil, its my 4th day after quitting and still I can feel those side effects caused by the absorption of minoxidil. I'm not able to sleep properly during night please tell me how much time will it take for these side effects to fade away on its own.

Hello user, never use that medicine for hair fall. Only best treatment for hair is to take homoeopathic medicine. It is safe to use, effective and easy to use and give you permanent solution without any further side effects. For that consult with homoeopathic doctor or with us personally in Lybrate for side effects of drug and hair fall.
