Oral minoxidil, originally developed as a blood pressure medication, helps with hair loss by dilating blood vessels and increasing blood flow throughout the body, including the scalp. This enhanced blood circulation delivers more nutrients and oxygen to hair follicles, promoting hair growth and prolonging the growth phase of the hair cycle. Additionally, oral minoxidil can stimulate hair follicles to produce thicker and longer hair strands, making it an effective treatment for certain types of hair loss, such as androgenetic alopecia.

Minoxidil (1mg): Oral minoxidil can boost hair growth by improving blood circulation, nourishing follicles, and thickening hair strands, making it effective for conditions like androgenetic alopecia.

Take one capsule by mouth once per day.*

Oral Minoxidil, originally developed to treat high blood pressure, is used to stimulate hair growth by enhancing blood flow to the hair follicles, improving nutrient delivery, and extending the growth phase of hair. It's effective for treating androgenetic alopecia in both men and women. On the other hand, Spironolactone is an oral medication that addresses hair loss by blocking androgen receptors and reducing the production of hormones like DHT, which can lead to hair follicle miniaturization. It is particularly suited for female pattern hair loss.

Oral Minoxidil and Spironolactone can be used together to address hair loss more comprehensively. However, for a more convenient option, Double Growth Hair Capsules™ combine both these active ingredients along with other supportive elements in a single daily dose.

Hair growth is a slow process and it can take several months to see substantial results. It can take 3 to 6 months to evaluate the effects of your topical Oral Minoxidil treatment, but for some patients the full effect may only be visible after 7-12 months. It is important to stay on the medication and follow your doctor's instructions for best results.

It is important to stop therapy and seek medical attention in any case of serious side effects.

It's very common to experience increased hair shedding when starting this treatment. This is sometimes referred to as the “Dread Shed”, but is medically known as "immediate telogen release.” It refers to an increased shedding of hair that individuals notice within 1-3 months of starting a new treatment for hair loss. Shedding is a positive sign that the treatment is working, is typically a temporary phase as hair follicles regenerate, and generally leads to better hair quality and density. Shedding varies among patients. For optimal results, avoid damaging hairstyles, tight braids, over-processing, and excessive heat styling.

Always consult your Tangl dermatologist for personalized advice.

Women can experience hair loss due to various factors, including genetics, hormonal changes (such as menopause, PCOS, birth control changes, and postpartum), medical conditions (like thyroid disorders and autoimmune diseases), nutritional deficiencies, stress, damaging hairstyling practices, certain medications, aging, and trauma. The most common forms of hair loss in women are Androgenetic Alopecia (a genetic condition causing thinning hair and pattern baldness) and Telogen Effluvium (temporary hair shedding due to stress, illness, surgery, shock to the system, or other transient factors, which can sometimes become chronic or even unmask underlying Androgenetic Alopecia). The specific cause varies and often requires evaluation by a healthcare professional to determine the underlying reason and appropriate treatment options.
