is 0.625 mg oral minoxidil enough to get results?

[michel sapin]

hi, i have tried 1.25 mg oral min for 3 month now with for the moment no hair result but a lot of hypertrichosis ( face/ body etc), and this is way too noticeable. I still want to try oral min because i have already exhausted all the other option (topial min fina/ duta, etc), but with lower dosage to reduce this side.
Do you know if 0.625 mg i high enough to get vertex/ mid scalp result? thanx
And i know that for many people hypertrichosis is not an issue, but i realy mean HUGE hypertrichosis like needed to shave forehead/ upper cheek/ back, etc....

It’s possible it will work…it all depends on the individual. Most of the research shows majority of improvements occur with doses of 2.5-5mg+ for men. Also, based on the forums most oral min users don’t begin seeing noticeable improvements in their scalp hair until around the 3-6 month mark.

If hypertrichosis is the only problematic side effect for you then consider yourself lucky. You’ve made it this far why not try to hang in there at least another 2-3 months? Then you’ll know whether or not it’s even worth continuing any further. If your hair does improve then you’ll have a new baseline to work with and can titrate accordingly. You might also be more willing to live with the excess body hair. Always much easier to remove body hair than to regrow it on your head.

bro i am talking about insane hypertrichosis here... I cant handle it anymore. Moreover i idn't get any hair result at all.. I know that 2.5 mg or 5 mg would lead to good scalp hair result, but the hypetrichosis might be insane. I don't know how other guy ( even female) can handle it.
DO you know how long does it take for unwanted hair to fall after quitting the drug?

No I don’t know. But keep in mind your hypertrichosis will likely persist even at the lower dose of 0.625mg.

ok, i thought that maybe with 0.625 mg it would be the same serum level as topical verson which causes less hypertrichosis. I have 5 mg loniten pill so i can't cut them into 0.25 mg

Try 0.0000001 mg

Only my opinion. No one knows for sure. You will have to try it and find out. My reasoning with sticking it out a bit longer was at least you will have given it enough time and consistency to know whether it really works or not. Best of luck to you.

thanks man, i know that would have work but damn this side is horrible ( when it is way too much like in my case)

God no when I started I was on chump numbers like you but I started to take 4.0g of minoxidil and finasteride

How were your results at 4g min? Are you “drinking” the liquid?

4 grams? that's enough to kill an elephant.

 

[bassie21]

It's not its the perfect amount as I've been getting great results

I'm doing 2,5 mg twice a day, what's your dosage per day?

 

[Donny J]

Tablets and sometimes drinking if I feel no affect would highly recommend

If you feel no affect? What does that mean? You’re not supposed to feel an immediate affect from taking minoxidil.

OP: I haven’t done all the research, but in general, you shouldn’t be drinking something that is meant to be placed topically. Your body often metabolizes things differently when ingested and things can become toxic when taken the wrong way.

it’s dangerous advice to go around telling people to drink minoxidil until you feel something.

 

[bassie21]

4 grams a day I would bump up your dosage as I have been getting great results

max recommended dosage is 100 mg/day for blood pressure, you must be joking taking and recommending 40 times that much. i think the moderators should remove your post as it is a lethal advice you're giving here.

 

[Moz5x]

Yes results were great would recommend immediately

Wait, did you mean 4 milligrams? Not grams.

 

[bassie21]

No 4 grams with 2 grams of finasteride incase it wasn't clear and a few other supplements great results would recommend it immediately

so one more time: max recommended dosage for Lonnoten (minoxidil) for bp = 100 mg/day and for hairloss between 1 and 5 mg/day; you're saying you're using 40 x max amount. recommended dosage for finasteride for hair loss is 1 mg/day; you're using 2000 x that amount. you must be trolling, I get it, but do you realize there might be people desperate enough to try your 'advice' and die in the process? so pls act responsibly and delete your posts, will you?

I do not understand why you ask the same question over and over again if you are answering yourself.
