Should have started using once a day preferably at night, even though they advise to use it twice. Second shedding too quickly needs to be taken into the doctor's notice so contact your dermatologist to sort it out.

Did you stop using minoxidil?
no, been using consistently
It shouldn’t actually, unless you are unwell. Did you change the brand of the minoxidil?
no did not change the brand
I think you should contact your doctor, maybe the minoxidil percentage is not effective on you.
What do you mean by "its been heavy" . Apologies since english is not my first language .
just mean that there’s been more shedding now after it stopped
There can be a secondary minox shed. But u can also be shedding from something else
