M using mintop 2 with ketoconazole shampoo and vighan forte tab. Since 2 months bt now my hair fall increased more than before is it normal? Or should I stop minoxidil?

Question

With minoxidil it's normal for hairfall to increase during initial days. Do not worry and continue as long as your dermatologist has prescribed. If doing self-prescription then see a dermatologist as doctors generally counsel regarding the initial hairfall after prescribing minoxidil. Hope that helps.

Hello lybrate-user. It is very common to lose hair because of minoxidil in the first month or so. It's a common phenomenon and nothing to worry about. You should understand that when it comes to hair you need to be very patient. So keep on using minoxidil 2 or 5 percent 2 ml /day for the next 5-6 months or so and then assess.

Hairfall is increased due to many reasons. Environmental changes can also trigger hairfall.  Continue minoxidil.
