How can you get off minoxidil safely or with less side affects after an episode of TE with only a month of usage?

Yes, Minoxidil can increase hair shedding in the beginning. It takes up to 6 months to see results with Minoxidil. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to evaluate and go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

You'll want to speak to your physician. I'm not sure if you are referring to oral or topical minoxidil. Changes in liver enzymes are extremely extremely rare with topical minoxidil. Most people shed within the first 2 months. If you are concerned about potential side effects, expert advice should be sought. There are over 100 reasons for elevated liver enzymes. It important to make sure none of those 100 things is on the list.
