Frequently asked questions

Begin intake
How long does minoxidil take to work?

Results can show in as few as two months, though many people need six months or more of daily use to see the full effect. Some temporary shedding can happen in the first weeks.

Is topical minoxidil for men or women?

Formulations exist for both. The right product and instructions depend on you and the formulation, so your provider decides.

What happens if I stop using it?

The benefit fades and hair loss begins again, so minoxidil works best as an ongoing routine.

Why am I shedding more at the start?

Temporary early shedding can happen as hair cycles reset. Keep applying as directed and message your care team if you are worried.

What are the side effects?

Scalp irritation, dryness and unwanted facial or body hair can occur. Stop and seek care for chest pain or a fast heartbeat.

Can I use it while pregnant or nursing?

Tell your provider if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding. Minoxidil is not appropriate during pregnancy.

Minoxidil with finasteride: can I use both?

Some people use both because they work differently. Your provider decides whether the combination fits your pattern and health history.

What is included with a Pep’d prescription?

Provider review of your intake, ongoing messaging with your care team, and a personalized plan. If prescribed, medication ships from a licensed pharmacy.

Do I need an in-person visit to get started?

No. You complete your intake online and a licensed provider reviews it. Your provider will tell you if anything more is needed.

Is insurance required to get started?

No. Pep’d operates outside of insurance, and insurance is not required to get started.

Is topical minoxidil available in every state?

Availability varies by state. Your intake will confirm what is available where you live.

Can my provider change my plan over time?

Yes. Your provider can adjust your plan based on how you respond and how you tolerate treatment.

How does delivery work?

If you’re prescribed, a licensed pharmacy ships your medication to your door.
