Take Oral Minoxidil by mouth according to your prescription label and your prescribing physician’s directions. The typical schedule listed here is one 2.5 mg tablet daily, but your own instructions may differ. You can usually take it with or without food. Taking it at a consistent time may make the daily routine easier to remember.
Do not change the dose, split tablets, or switch the time of day to manage symptoms without checking with your physician or pharmacist. If you feel dizzy when standing, sit or lie down until it passes and contact your care team. Avoid driving if you feel lightheaded.
Your physician may ask you to track blood pressure, pulse, weight, or swelling. Follow the monitoring plan they give you. Keep follow-up visits so your physician can review safety and whether to continue treatment. Hair growth takes time, and results vary. Taking more than prescribed does not make treatment safer or guarantee faster growth.
