I wouldn't use oral minoxidil personally because it's a blood pressure pill and once you get on those, I've heard, it's not recommended you stop (or at the very least, wean off them very slowly). But if I've learned anything researching hair loss online for the last 10-15 years, it's don't believe everything you read online. I'm not a doctor and neither are 99% of people on this forum. So relax. There's lots of crap on the internet.
With that said, if you have concerns, speak to your doctor. I've asked my doctor questions that I've 'researched' online only to find a totally different answer. I'm assuming you got oral minoxidil from a doctor/GP? If so, you should be okay but please do talk to your doctor about any concerns and don't take medical advice from a random forum online.
Doctors and dermatologists are usually clueless when it comes to hair loss.
I agree doctors but isnt it the job of a dermatologist to know about hair loss.
1.25mg is the dosage for women. To answer the previous question by someone.
Are you on 20mg now?

For me personally yes, but what’s for me may not be for you! Start low see how you feel, be cautious bro but don’t be scared. I say this every post.. everyone’s different we all react differently to each drug. I actually know a chick that takes 2.5mg everyday.
see how you go mate, check you bp and heart rate occasionally. Maybe blood work if you feel inclined.

the girl didn't get hypertrichosis? man i really need to make the switch i get huge inflammation from topical
He is a member here, made a thread, he got great results, shame he started trying to make money off it. All he does is use finasteride and dermaroll before applying minoxidil...nothing groundbreaking.
He was very reluctant to share his regime. Kept refering me to his website to pay for some sh*t.
Hes basically got a perfect hairline back from being seriously receded and thinned out. I cant believe he didnt have a hair transplant for that hairline
He was an amazing responder to finasteride if i remember right, the minoxidil was just the icing on the cake. It is not common to get the sorts of results he did sadly even if you do follow his regimen.

Update 20mg oral minoxidil.
eyelashes are growing like crazy, nose hair and eyebrow hair also!
my forehead has more lines on it, never noticed them before or maybe there just more pronounced. night sweats, these are new. Nosebleeds as soon as I get into a shower(most showers)
going to continue for another month on 20mg.

Haha sounds a bit heavy mate. The nosebleeds are worrying. Must be from thin blood. Interesting to see if they stop.
Lines on the forehead - i see a lot of comments about collagen depletion bcos of oral min. Sounds similar.
No comment on the part we all do this for - any change to the hair growth?
