Stimulate growth, strengthen follicles
Pricing varies by protocol
Minoxidil is the most widely used hair growth treatment for both men and women. Available in topical and oral formulations, it works by increasing blood flow to hair follicles, extending the growth phase, and stimulating miniaturized follicles to produce thicker, stronger hair. Your provider will determine the best formulation and dosage for your needs.

Whether topical or oral, your provider will find the right minoxidil protocol for you.
Start Your EvaluationMinoxidil at RenewRx starts at $49/month. That includes your provider consultation, protocol design, and lab monitoring every 90 days — there is no separate membership fee stacked on top. Final pricing depends on the dose and protocol your clinician prescribes after reviewing your bloodwork.
RenewRx dispenses compounded minoxidil from a licensed 503A pharmacy. Compounded medications are prepared for an individual patient and are not FDA-approved. The FDA-approved branded version is Rogaine (topical, over-the-counter). We'd rather tell you that plainly than let you assume otherwise — your provider will walk you through what it means before you start.
Applied topically to the scalp, or prescribed as a low-dose oral tablet when topical hasn't worked. Oral minoxidil for hair loss is prescribed off-label.
Expect to wait. Meaningful change takes three to six months, and many patients see increased shedding in the first few weeks — that's the follicle cycle resetting, not the drug failing.
Topical: scalp irritation, dryness, unwanted facial hair from runoff. Oral: possible fluid retention, ankle swelling, increased body hair, and effects on heart rate — which is why oral minoxidil requires provider oversight rather than self-dosing.
Yes. Every RenewRx protocol begins with a lab panel reviewed by a licensed provider before anything is prescribed. We won't write a prescription off a questionnaire alone. Labs are rechecked every 90 days so your dose is adjusted to how you're actually responding — not to how you're expected to respond.
Three to six months before you can fairly judge it, and early shedding is normal and expected. Most people who conclude minoxidil 'didn't work' stopped at week six. It also only works while you keep using it — stop, and you lose the gains within a few months.
Most of the benefit fades once you stop, because these therapies manage a condition rather than cure it. That said, the goal isn't to keep you on medication forever — your provider will talk with you about duration, tapering, and what an exit looks like. If a clinic never raises that conversation, ask why.
No contract, and no lock-in. Our protocols are structured as three-month programs because that's the window where the physiology actually shows up — hormone and peptide therapy needs time, plus at least one lab recheck, before anyone can honestly say whether it's working. You're committing to giving the protocol a fair trial, not to a contractual obligation.
