How does Oral Minoxidil work?
Oral minoxidil works beneath the surface to boost blood flow and reactivate dormant hair follicles, helping jumpstart regrowth. Originally developed as a blood pressure medication, it was found to promote significant hair growth—leading to its widespread use at low doses for hair loss.
Clinically studied for over 30 years, Oral Minoxidil is proven to help regrow hair within 3 to 6 months. It shortens the resting phase of the hair cycle and keeps more follicles in active growth, resulting in visibly thicker, fuller-looking hair in thinning areas.

Why try Oral Minoxidil?
Promotes Full-Scalp Hair Regrowth
Oral minoxidil is clinically studied to reactivate dormant follicles and improve blood flow to the scalp—leading to real improvements in thickness, density, and shedding within 3–6 months.
Low-Maintenance, High Impact
Just one pill a day—no messy foams, no daily application struggles, no waiting around for it to dry. It’s a simple routine that fits real life.
A Solution When Topicals Fall Short
For many, topical minoxidil causes irritation—or simply doesn’t work. Oral minoxidil offers a targeted, systemic alternative with better tolerability and effectiveness for many patients.

Frequently Asked Questions
Oral Minoxidil is a low-dose prescription medication used off-label to treat hair thinning and pattern hair loss in both men and women. It promotes regrowth by increasing blood flow to the scalp and reactivating dormant hair follicles.
While both forms help stimulate hair growth, Oral Minoxidil works internally—throughout the body—rather than being applied directly to the scalp. Many people prefer it for its ease of use and because it avoids common issues like scalp irritation or inconsistent application.
Most users begin to see visible results within 3 to 6 months of consistent daily use. Staying on track is key—results build gradually over time. Learn more about what to expect in our Resource Center.
