Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM Minoxidil is a non specific hair growth promoter and promotes the transition of hair from resting phase to growth phase(Anagen) and is the drug of choice in female with Androgenetic Alopecia. If hair loss is due to other causes like Telogen Effluvium then it is unlikely to benefit much. Sometimes females have both Telogen effluvium as well as Androgenetic alopecia both of which require to be treated simultaneously. If i was your treating doctor i would have wanted to know your Iron status by Serum Ferritin levels as well as your thyroid status which would rule out the two most important causes of Telogen effluvium in females. Further management would be guided by the test results. If any of these tests are deranged then correcting them might be useful in arresting your hair fall. take care regards
