# Low-Dose Oral Minoxidil for Menopause Hair Thinning

> Discover how low-dose oral minoxidil can safely treat menopause-related hair thinning by promoting thicker, healthier hair growth in women.

## 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.
