Can Minoxidil be Used During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding?
Minoxidil is classified as a Category C drug by the FDA for use during pregnancy, meaning that risk to the fetus cannot be ruled out. It is also not recommended during breastfeeding due to the potential for the drug to be absorbed systemically and pass into breast milk. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using minoxidil.
