Minoxidil has been extensively tested among thousands of subjects over the past decades. These studies have shown that Minoxidil for the treatment of hereditary hair loss is perfectly safe up to a strength of 2% in women and 5% in men. 

Linn Pharma's Minoxidil lotion is available without a prescription in different strengths at the Hair Growth Specialist.

No, to maintain the desired results, you need to continue using the product daily. If you stop using the product, hair loss may eventually return.

It's not a big deal to forget Minoxidil once. In that case, do it anyway, unless it is already almost time for the next application, and think about what you can do to do better the next day. Put the product in sight, so you see it when you need to use it. Try to get a rhythm into it, make it a daily ritual. After a while, just like brushing your teeth or styling your hair, it will start to feel more and more normal and come naturally.

Minoxidil can have side effects. The most common are itching and other skin irritations in places where you applied the Minoxidil. Minoxidil contains alcohol, so you might experience a burning sensation and/or (skin) irritations. These irritations sometimes occur in sensitive areas such as around the eyes. Does the product accidentally come into contact with the skin? Then rinse it off a copious amount of running tap water. Does the irritation and itching persist for a longer period of time? If so, contact your doctor.

If you experience any side effects, contact our customer service or your doctor. This also applies to possible side effects not listed in the leaflet.

Yes, there are good lotions available as an alternative to Minoxidil, such as Neofollics Lotion and Spectral.DNC-N. These alternatives are more pleasant to use, have no side effects, and contain several hair growth stimulating ingredients. You can order these lotions on our site.
