If you absolutely can't get the pill, is it a capsule that you can take apart which has powder inside? If so, and you have no other options you can try to take the powder sublingually but it's going to be a pain taking the capsule apart each time and getting the powder out. I have taken nootropic powder sublingually and it doesn't dissolve like a pill does and usually end up having to swallowing some.
thanks youvery much for your time . no it's a regular tablet jut like propecia that i can split and which has no powder inside . do you think i coul let the tablet dissolve under the tongue? i have no idea why this guy said it wouldnt work tho
Should be nothing left to swallow. Just pinch it below your tongue and keep your tongue depressed down as best you can until no longer feel the pill. When first starting, have a look in the mirror after 2-3 minutes to see what's left.
Try asking a pharmacist/chemist if Loniten/generic oral min tablets have coatings that would prevent sublingual absorption. Usually enteric coated tablets will be identified as such in the name. My generic oral min 2.5mg tablets feel rough and dissolve relatively fast in about 2 minutes. Also if you get hypertrichosis (usually appears early in treatment) you’ll know it’s being properly converted to the active form.
so getting hypertricjhosis on face or body means you have the sulfotransferase ? and that it is working for scalp hair?
Most likely. So I would say you have plenty in your body.
Well, hypertrichosis would be an obvious sign it’s being converted to the active form somewhere in your body (liver, scalp, elsewhere?) since that side effect usually occurs early in a majority of people who take it. Whether it’s doing much for your scalp hair will remain to be seen until several months later. I’d say if you also eventually experience some heavy shedding (scalp hair) that would be another good sign it’s working.
thanks man, because if i remind dr pathmovich ( thailaind Doctor who use oral min) said in some patient they only get hypertrichosis and no scalp result. which sucks
Yes I do recall reading that from him. He and Dr Sinclair probably have the most experience with low dose oral min for hairloss. Interestingly, the more recent studies on LDOM from Europe and North America always seem to have very high response rates. But there’s always a chance I guess that one could be a non responder.
How much did you take?
A 5MG capsule. Broke it up and let it sit under my tongue without swallowing.
In an earlier post you mentioned taking the liquid equivalent of 5mg sublingually and having no issues. I guess this shows that taking liquid equivalent sublingually isn’t quite the same in terms of absorption? Since you fainted (hope you’re ok) perhaps take a break from the experimentation for a few days. Wouldn’t want to have anyone injure themselves on Christmas due to hairloss lol.
Yeah I think we can state that liquid minoxidil is working A LOT different than oral sublingual.
so putting the drop under the tongue is different from taking the real sublingual product you think? sorry to ask
Yes it's definitely different. I could put 15mg under my tongue without getting ANY sides with liquid.
