Hi,

Minoxidil topical is widely used in the treatment of hair loss and for promoting hair regrowth. Sometimes, it is also used in the treatment of severely high blood pressure or hypertension. This medication may take time to exhibit its full effectiveness. Minoxidil begins working immediately, but you should wait between 3 and 6 or 9 months before you see its visible signs of progress. Even you may notice some hair fall out during this time frame, before it begins growing again. Usually you may begin to notice the end of hair loss and begin to notice hair growth, after 3-4 months of regular treatment with Minoxidil. If you still have any doubt regarding this medication's effectiveness, then you can ask your prescribing doctor.

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