I want to more about Minoxidil but read about many cons of it on the Internet. Just want to know can I stop using minoxidil gradually after getting desired results?

Hello,

Yes, after getting desired affects you can quit using minoxidil but before that you should consult your treating doctor/ dermatologist. Hair loss commonly occurs due to genetics, underlying medical condition like arthritis, gout, heart disease, depression, cancer, etc. You should get clinically examined and evaluated so that treatment can be started.

As you take medications, don't forget to do scalp massage, take well balanced homemade food, quit smoking, manage stress. Take food that is good for hair, like eggs, milk, meat, yogurt, beans, lentils, nuts, seeds, etc. Stay well hydrated and take quality sleep at night.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
