- Thread starter MrSnow
- Start date
this morning was my first take of minoxidil oral ?
do you have nice results ?
you think it will better if i take 2*2.5mg per day (the morning and evening) and not directly 5mg per day ?

are you still doing this? Have you had any sides, I started taking 5mg once a day, but I have 0 sides and I am tempted to hit 5 twice a day, since we are supposed to use topically twice a day I guess?

Topical minoxidil and oral are entirely different in terms of absorption with only about 10% on the Scalp absorbed and even then you need enough of the active enzymes to convert it to minoxidil sulphate (or whatever it is called) and it was only suggested twice a day as it was approved that way but it last 22 hours so can get away with once a day.
Taking 5 twice a day is riskier as it is all metabolised by the liver and higher chance of sides but potentially better results.
