Low-dose oral minoxidil is a once-daily minoxidil pill prescribed off-label for hair loss in men and women, as an alternative to scalp solutions for people who don’t want a daily topical or find it irritating.
Your physician chooses 2.5 mg or 5 mg daily.
Ships as a 90-day supply, billed every 3 months, with your oral minoxidil prescription handled online.
Oral minoxidil can cause fine hair growth elsewhere on the body and, less often, lightheadedness or ankle swelling, so your physician reviews your blood pressure and heart history first.
Prescription required. A licensed physician decides if oral minoxidil is right for you.
Prescription only. A licensed physician decides eligibility from your medical intake. Individual results vary.

THE SCIENCE
How does Oral Minoxidil work, and what does it cost?
Low-dose oral minoxidil extends the hair growth phase from within, thickening and regrowing hair. Used off-label for hair loss, it can cause fluid retention, ankle swelling, lightheadedness, or increased body hair. Discuss your heart and blood-pressure history with your physician.

FAQ
Common questions about Oral Minoxidil
Still deciding between strengths, or between this and another protocol?
Take the 60-second quiz
Am I eligible?
Eligibility is a clinical decision. After you check out, you'll complete a medical intake; a US-licensed physician reviews it and determines whether this protocol is appropriate for you. If it isn't, the hold on your card is released and you're not charged.
Is oral minoxidil FDA-approved for hair loss?
Minoxidil tablets are FDA-approved for high blood pressure, at much higher doses. Low-dose minoxidil for hair loss is off-label and widely used in dermatology. You receive a generic tablet, not a compound.
What side effects should I expect?
Extra hair growth on the face or body, and a temporary early shed. Less often, ankle swelling, lightheadedness, or a faster heartbeat; tell your physician if these happen. Your intake reviews your heart and blood-pressure history.
How long until I see results?
Most people need three to six months to see a difference. Hair loss usually resumes if you stop.
How is it shipped?
Discreetly, in plain, unbranded packaging, straight from a US-licensed pharmacy. No special handling needed; store it as your pharmacy label directs.
What if I'm not approved?
You're not charged. Checkout places a temporary hold on your card, and it's released if a physician doesn't approve your protocol. Where possible, your physician may suggest an alternative that fits your case.
What's included, and what's billed separately?
Your price covers your physician review, your prescription, messaging with your care team and, for most protocols, your medication and shipping from a US-licensed pharmacy. Brand-name GLP-1 care is the exception: you buy the medication from the manufacturer's own pharmacy. For isotretinoin, the required lab work (blood tests, and monthly pregnancy tests if you can become pregnant) is billed separately by the lab.
How quickly will it arrive?
Once a physician approves your protocol, the pharmacy prepares your prescription and ships it to you. Your dashboard shows the status and tracking at every step.
Can I cancel or pause?
Yes, there's no lock-in. You can pause or cancel your protocol anytime from your dashboard before your next fulfilment.
