I stopped using the 10% Minoxidil for a couple of months because of some personal reasons. I'm thinking about starting it again, but I'm a bit concerned if this break will affect how well it works. Could you let me know what to expect?

Hi Prasad, if you have stopped applying 10% Minoxidil for two months and want to start using it again, there may be a temporary decrease in effectiveness initially. However, with consistent and continued use, you should start to see results again. Remember to apply 10% Minoxidil twice daily as directed for optimal results.
