Hello, Welcome to healthcare magic, Minoxidil is the FDA approved treatment of male pattern baldness. In many patients initially after starting minoxidil use there is an increased hair fall, we call that phenomenon anagen induction . It usually settles down after 2-3 months and then you will get improvement. This hair loss is a good sign as increased fall is due to a lot of new hair formation which pushes the resting telogen hairs out. Please continue Tugain. Make sure that you are applying it on the scalp and not hair and use only 1 ml twice daily, not more than that. Hope this helped, Take care.
