Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I have gone through your complaints and it is normal for hair loss to increase for first 2 weeks after starting minoxidil. It will settle in another 2-3 weeks. Don’t worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
