is 1.25 mg oral minoxidil better than huge dosage of topical?

You find harder to get tretinoin than oral minoxidil ?!

Yes, most hair doctors will prescribe you low doses or oral min. I'm not going to go to them and ask for tretinoin.

Also, you can literally drink liquid minoxidil. It's ingredients are harmless.

Yes, but oral have tons of more side effects .

I'm definitely more worried about the long term effects than how the side effects feel

I'm also worried about the long term effects of the oral minoxidil but the topical form does go systemic to some extend. Personally, I have less sides with the oral than with a large dose of topical.

And you really think that using a drug that cause water retention, that it is not longer use it as antihypertensive drug cause side effects will not f*** you long term ?

There was a misunderstanding. I meant that I can deal with feeling uncomfortable or dealing with side effects as in what they feel like. If those side effects are signs that damage is being done then I wouldn't be happy with continuing

For people taking liquid minoxidil instead of the tablet form, how many drops are you taking?

OM is meant to be the gold standard in hair loss and highly effective but i've been ingesting 4 drops daily for around 6 months with only thinner hair to show for it. I take it mixed with a small amount of water - this shouldnt be a problem should it?

Coudlnt believe how much extra body hair it gave me though. Just what I frikkin need, its like the universe is f**king w/me at this point haha

Dunno about drops but you can measure it this way; You can use a syringe and measure out 1 ml. In 1 ml of topical mix there is 50mg of minoxidil. Now you can dissolve that in water or, even better, in ethanol and use as desired.
