vibssingh,It is impossible to evaluate your situation without an in person visit, but often times there is some shedding with minoxidil treatment. This is usually a positive since those thin hairs shed are usually replaced with thicker caliber healthier hairs. However, I do not want to second quest your treating doctor.Wishing all the best,Bernardino A. Arocha, MD
