How many months does minoxidil take to take effect?

How long minoxidil takes effect in the treatment of alopecia mainly depends on personal situation, and it usually takes about 2~3 months to take effect. Minoxidil is only used locally on the scalp, and cannot be taken orally or applied to other parts of the body. Minoxidil has no effect on scalp scar and injury.

Minoxidil can cause tachycardia or angina pectoris through skin absorption, so people with a history of heart disease should use minoxidil with caution. Avoid contact with eyes when using minoxidil, because it will burn and irritate eyes.

Minoxidil can effectively prolong the long period of head occurrence, thus reducing the probability of alopecia, and thus can treat alopecia.
