What is biotin / minoxidil?
(B7 vitamin + vascular growth stimulant)
Biotin is a B vitamin required for hair, skin and nail keratin synthesis. Minoxidil stimulates hair-follicle growth and blood flow in the scalp. Together, biotin ensures the new hair that minoxidil helps grow is strong and resilient. This combination is chosen for people whose hair is thin or fragile in addition to thinning.

The science of oral minoxidil
Biotin supplementation improves hair strength and reduces breakage in people with biotin deficiency; minoxidil is proven to extend the growth phase and increase hair density.
The combination targets both quantity (minoxidil) and quality (biotin) of hair. Your physician monitors for minoxidil side effects and ensures adequate biotin levels.
Learn moreImportant safety information and common side effects
Oral minoxidil and biotin are generally well tolerated. Common effects include increased body hair (hypertrichosis), especially on forearms and face; mild fluid retention; and occasional palpitations or chest tightness. Minoxidil can lower blood pressure, so it is not used in people with uncontrolled low BP or cardiac arrhythmias. Tell your physician about heart medications, blood pressure history, and any swelling or weight gain. Stop and seek care for chest pain, severe palpitations, fainting, or signs of allergic reaction.

Frequently asked questions
How do I take Biotin / Minoxidil Capsules?
Taken by mouth, once a day. The starting prescription is 1 capsule (5 mg / 1.25 mg) each time. Your physician sets your own dose and it is printed on your label.
What strengths does Biotin / Minoxidil Capsules come in?
The pharmacy carries 2: 5 mg / 1.25 mg, 5 mg / 3 mg. Your physician chooses which one you get.
What exactly is in it?
Biotin, Minoxidil.
How much arrives in each shipment?
30 capsules at the starting strength, shipped to your door from a licensed US pharmacy.
Why add biotin if minoxidil alone regrows hair?
Biotin ensures new hair is strong and resistant to breakage. Some people with thin, fragile hair benefit more from the combination. Your physician decides if biotin adds value for your hair type.
Why does oral minoxidil cause body hair growth?
Minoxidil works everywhere: scalp, face, arms, and elsewhere. Body hair increase is common (80% of users to some degree) but usually mild. It often subsides when you stop, though some people notice hair changes persist longer.
Can I combine oral and topical minoxidil?
Not recommended. Combining them doubles your dose and increases side effects without much added benefit. Your physician chooses one form based on your preference and response.
What if I feel dizzy or have chest tightness?
Contact your physician immediately. These are signs of low blood pressure or cardiac stress. Dose may need to be reduced or stopped. Never ignore these symptoms.
