Brief Answer:
Can occur in some individual

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.

This is possible with the initial use of minoxidil in some individual. It is fine.

The reason is, it stimulate hair growth, follicles work harder towards it. This pushes out the old, dead hair that would eventually fall out anyway but in a more rapid manner. This presents as increased hair fall
So, you can continue to use it, it will show improvement. Along with it I advice my patients to use trichup hair fall control shampoo, regularly, it is found to be helpful. You can try this if it is available at your place.

This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.

I hope this suggestion might be of some help to you.
Take care.
