I am afraid to take tablets with Minoxidil from the pharmacy recipe, because there is no leaflet. What drugs does it interact with and generally what can I expect from it?
The dermatologist prescribed me a prescription of minoxidil in 0.5 mg tablets. I got this drug because my hair falls out. I'm a little afraid to take it because it was made from a recipe and there is no leaflet. I do not know what drugs it interacts with and generally what to expect from it.

I understand your concerns about taking a new drug without precise information about its effects and potential interactions. First of all, it is important that you consult the dermatologist who prescribed minoxidil to obtain more detailed information adequate to your condition. As a pharmacist, I can only give general information about Minoxidil: Action: It is a drug used in androgenetic alopecia in women and men, which means that it works to slow down the process of hair loss in people who are genetically predisposed to this type of baldness. The literature also describes the use in the treatment of alopecia areata, telogen alopecia, genetic alopecia and others. Interactions: Minoxidil may interact with some other medicines, so it is important that you tell your doctor about any other medicines you are currently taking. In this way, the doctor will be able to assess whether there is a potential risk of interaction. Side effects: When using minoxidil, side effects such as skin reactions, itching, redness of the scalp may occur. Some people may experience hair growth on other parts of the body than the head. Dosage and use: It is important to take minoxidil as directed by your doctor and not exceed the dose prescribed by your prescription. Effectiveness: The effects of treatment with minoxidil may vary depending on individual factors, and the results can only be observed after a few months of regular use. In case of doubt, I encourage you to consult your doctor again. It is the doctor who decides whether to treat the patient m.in based on the history of the disease and the previous response to treatment. Only a doctor can decide on a possible change in pharmacotherapy. If you are unable to get to your primary care doctor, the GdziePoLek.pl service also allows you to obtain a teleconsultation with a doctor: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja/z-dermatologiem
