Frequently asked questions
- When will my oral minoxidil start working?+Oral minoxidil takes a few months to produce noticeable results to your crown and hairline. Results are usually seen within 3-6 months.
- What side effects should I look out for?+A common side effect of low-dose oral minoxidil treatment is increased hair growth on the face or body (hypertrichosis). Other potential side effects include lightheadedness, palpitations, leg swelling, headaches, swelling around the eyes, and insomnia. Oral minoxidil can cause early shedding as beneficial hair cycling is triggered. This is an expected side effect that will improve with continued minoxidil use. Please note that when used at higher doses to treat hypertension, there is a risk of severe heart-related side effects. However, this result was largely unseen in studies that used low doses to treat hair loss.
- Is it safe to take oral minoxidil with my Menopausal Hormone Therapy?+Yes! You can take oral minoxidil alongside MHT. Oral Minoxidil doesn’t involve any hormones, so no issues there.
- How will I know if I’m on the right dose?+Oral minoxidil is usually prescribed in lower doses when treating hair loss. Our standard dose is 1mg, but your doctor will determine what’s right for you. If after three months you have not experienced any results, you can talk to your doctor about increasing your dose.
- How long will results last from taking oral minoxidil?+Oral minoxidil's results are temporary and last only as long as you continue to use it. Once you stop taking it, you will no longer see the effects.
- Is oral minoxidil eligible for HSA or FSA reimbursement?+
What Alloy customers are saying
“I was amazed at how informed and prompt the doctor was in responding to my questions and helping me! I am a doctor myself and very very informed about many things to do with my health but I am an oncologist. I have learned so much from the doctor and Alloy and the YouTube channel! So many brilliant capable women standing up and saying no more this is not OK and we’re gonna fix this now. I am so thrilled to be part of Alloy! I have referred every woman I know to the site.”
Thankful for Alloy and their doctors that make women’s health a priority! I love that I don’t have to jump through hoops or over-explain my needs in order to get the menopausal healthcare that I need in order to live a vibrant life. Thank you!
“My Alloy has been a lifesaver! Dr. Menn is very responsive, has answered several questions and provided additional information I had not thought to request, arming me for a visit to my PCP for a cardiac issue. Getting HRT through my OBGYN proved impossible. Within 3-4 days of starting my treatment, my sleep improved dramatically. Three weeks in and my skin on my body has started looking/feeling like skin again instead of flaky/itchy parchment paper. So far no migraines (fingers crossed for that to continue!!). Now just need to give it more time to work its magic on my bones, heart, brain. So glorious to have my life retuning to me!!!”
“I love this was a hassle free process, and I felt I was actually listened to and taken seriously, something I feel can be sorely lacking in the medical world when it comes to women. Women know their bodies, and it shouldn’t be a struggle to get the treatment that works best for you. We’re all different, and the key is finding what works for us individually. Thank you, Alloy. My quality of life during perimenopause is so much better now!”
My experience has been excellent. They responded quickly, listened to my symptoms and responded with a protocol that’s easy to follow. I’m feeling 100 percent better. Thank you so very much.
