I have been using minoxidil from past 4 months. When I was in bangalore my hairs started falling out rigorously. Even after using minoxidil it dint stop. After that I have come to chennai the very next day my hair fall is reduced to 10 hairs per day. So clearly we can see that my hairs was falling because of the water. But I have facial hairs increased too because of minoxidil. So my doctor told me to stop it and prescribed me hairgro serum. My question is, if we stop minoxidil hairs will fall so if I use hairgro serum will it compensate? Does this have any side effects? I would like to apply onion juice and stop all medicines so can I use it as soon as I stop minoxidil?

1. The sudden hairloss that you had due to minoxidil is very normal, it happens for few days to months post starting minoxidil but that isn't a side effect of the medicine but that's how it works. 2. If there is facial hair growth with minoxidil then probably you are not using it properly as it is getting dripped on your face somehow. (tips - don't apply it at night before sleeping and wash your hands immediately after applying minoxidil on scalp).
