Description
Minoxidil tablets are a prescription medication that can help stimulate hair growth and reduce hair thinning. It works by improving blood flow to hair follicles and extending the hair growth cycle, helping increase hair density and thickness over time. It is often prescribed for women experiencing hair loss related to hormonal changes, including perimenopause and menopause. Minoxidil tablets may also be prescribed for other types of hair loss as determined by your doctor. You can meet with a QuickMD doctor to see if minoxidil tablets are the right option for you.
How to use
Take minoxidil tablets as directed by your QuickMD doctor. This medication is taken by mouth. Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water, with or without food, at the same time each day. Do not take additional doses to compensate for a missed dose without prior consultation with your doctor. Staying consistent helps promote new hair growth and maintain follicular activity over time. Each prescription comes with a patient information leaflet. Be sure to read it carefully, and ask your doctor if you have any questions.

Side effects
Serious or adverse side effects from minoxidil tablets are rare. However, some women may experience mild and usually temporary effects, especially during the first few months of treatment. These can include increased facial or body hair growth, mild swelling, lightheadedness, or changes in blood pressure. Less commonly, side effects such as headaches, mild fluid retention, tachycardia (increased heart rate), or menstrual changes may occur.
This is not a full list of side effects, interactions, or warnings, and it should not replace medical advice. For guidance tailored to your health and medications, always talk with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
Safety information
Minoxidil tablets must be prescribed by a licensed doctor. A consultation with a QuickMD doctor is required to review your health and determine if this prescription medication is appropriate for you.
Frequently asked questions
How much do minoxidil tablets cost?
Minoxidil tablets are $14 with QuickMD’s cash-pay option, giving you clear, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. Many women prefer this route because it’s simple, stress-free, and allows their medication to be shipped right to their door.
If you’d rather use insurance, your doctor can send your prescription to your local pharmacy. Costs and coverage depend on your plan, but your QuickMD doctor will walk you through the options so you can choose what works best for your health, your budget, and your life.
How long does it take for minoxidil to work?
Most women begin to see early signs of regrowth after 2 to 4 months of daily use. This often starts as soft, fine hairs that gradually become thicker and more visible. More noticeable improvements typically appear around 4 to 6 months, but it can take longer for some.
Does minoxidil change hair texture?
Yes, it can. Some women notice their hair becoming a bit drier, wavier, or coarser as new strands grow in. This is usually temporary and part of the normal regrowth process. Over time, the texture often softens and blends in with your existing hair. Using a gentle, hydrating hair care routine can help keep hair feeling healthy during this phase.
How the membership works
Book your first visit. It’s free to start!
To begin your MHT Membership, book your first visit with a QuickMD doctor who understands perimenopause and menopause. Start with your first month free, then continue at $79 per month, which includes a doctor’s visit, your prescription, and ongoing care. During your first appointment, your doctor will review your health history, listen to your symptoms, and answer your questions. Together, you’ll decide whether hormone therapy feels right for you and start care that’s supportive, personal, and focused on lasting relief.
Unlock the perks of woman-centered care
Your membership gives you immediate access to answers when you need them most. Each month, your first doctor’s visit is included in your membership, and if you need additional support, extra visits are just $49. If medication could help ease your symptoms, your doctor will take the time to discuss your options and prescribe what you need during your visit. You can choose to have it shipped directly to your home with transparent pricing, or sent same-day to your local pharmacy. There are no contracts to lock you in, so you can cancel anytime. It’s flexible care built around what you’re going through, so you get the care you deserve.
Find relief with Minoxidil tablets, if right for you
If your doctor determines minoxidil tablets are right for you, they can prescribe them as part of your treatment plan. By improving blood flow to hair follicles and extending the hair growth cycle, this therapy can help address hair thinning and shedding. Many women notice increased hair density, less shedding, and healthier-looking hair as treatment continues. These changes happen gradually, and every woman’s experience is unique. With regular use and ongoing check-ins through your membership, you and your doctor can adjust your treatment to ensure it’s safe, effective, and meeting your individual goals.
