How Bad Your Oral Minoxidil Initial Shedding

[Hasan negm]

I just using Oral minoxidil 5 mg for 3 weeks and had massive shedding for ten days , does anyone had something like that.
In the other hand body hairs and my beard is much thicker

Yes it's normal to shed heavily on oral min when you first start, it will subside, i have been taking it since october 2018 or around about then. For the majority of that time it has been 10mg but i recently reduced it to 5mg. I have taken as high as 20mg before out of sheer desperation, but i don't think going higher than 5mg is necessary.

Im on it for 3 weeks as well and shedding like a mad dog for couple of days now.
Did you ever try topical minoxidil?

Yes I tried it but it didn’t give me agood results only alot of vellus hairs and shedding , stopped it as it causes Irritation and it’s hassle to apply it
