Oral minoxidil is FDA-approved (at higher doses) to treat high blood pressure. Doctors began prescribing low-dose oral minoxidil tablets as a convenient, once-a-day, non-hormonal hair loss treatment because in clinical trials studying higher doses of oral minoxidil for high blood pressure, a large percentage of patients experienced “elongation, thickening, and enhanced pigmentation of body hair,” including on the scalp.

Oral Minoxidil works by improving blood circulation to the scalp, which nourishes the hair follicles and extends the growth phase of the hair cycle.
Studies have shown that about a third of men taking Minoxidil tablets will experience reduced shedding and another third will experience improved growth by around 6 months of treatment.
Men also report that their hair strands are stronger, thicker and deeper coloured when using Minoxidil tablets.
