A member asked:
What would happen to the hair if one stops using minoxidil?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minoxidil: If hair growth is going to occur with the use of minoxidil, it usually occurs after the medicine has been used for several months and lasts only as long as the medicine continues to be used. Hair loss will begin again within a few months after Minoxidil treatment is stopped.
