How can low-dose oral minoxidil be used to address menopause-related hair thinning?
Low-dose oral minoxidil is an effective option for addressing menopause-related hair thinning. Here at Alloy, we offer this as a daily pill specifically designed for women experiencing hair thinning or loss during and after menopause.
How it works:
Oral minoxidil increases blood flow and oxygen delivery to hair follicles, which helps to enlarge the follicles and promote the growth of stronger, thicker hair.
Most women start to see noticeable improvements in hair volume and thickness within 3 to 6 months of consistent use.
It is a convenient alternative for those who prefer a pill over topical treatments.
What to expect:
Some initial shedding is normal when starting minoxidil, as older hairs are pushed out to make way for new, healthier growth. This usually subsides within a few weeks.
Continued use is important, as stopping the medication will result in any new hair growth falling out.
Oral minoxidil is generally well-tolerated, but a menopause-trained doctor at Alloy will review your medical history to ensure it’s right for you.
