Topical or oral minoxidil (starting at 0.5mg daily) is recommended for treating menopausal hair thinning, with results in about six months and significant difference in two years.

“So for that reason I would say you know I usually treat these patients with minoxidil. You can either do like ro gain on your scalp or you can take oral minoxidil. Uh the prescription is 2.5. You can start as uh little as.5 every single day. The problem is hair thinning is very common in menopause and you want to hit it quick. So if you start noticing that you're losing hair. Take the minoxidil. It doesn't work overnight. You will probably start seeing results in about six months, but in two years it you'll see a huge difference in your hair. But hit it early.”
