Which Dosage Of Oral Minoxidil To Replace The Topical Version?

[michel sapin]

ok guys, enough of the topical sh*t, i will take oral minoxidil
However i need the lowest dosage to replace the topical but with enough efficacy to be the same efficacy as 3 ml minoxidil daily ( at the very least).
There are many studies , some with 0.25 g / 1.25mg and up to 5 mg. But i would rather take 1.25 mg . Is it enough?

No, that is not enough, 5mg minimum, lower dosages than that are for women. But try it out at lower dosages and find out for yourself, but i don't think you will see great results at 1.25mg.

There isn't much research on this. One study said that 1mg is as effective as 5% topical, but since 5mg doesn't seem to have sides, use that.
2.5mg twice daily.

Have you thought about trying between 2 and 5ml of oral castor oil a day to use in conjunction with oral minoxidil? i will also reiterate, 5mg has shown to be superior to 2.5mg for hair loss in men, the doses you are talking about are for women. But again, no harm in trying.

I use 5% all over and 15% on my frontal region.

but are the result correlated with the blood serum of oral minoxidil? because according to the study with topical except in the rare case you absorb uder 2ng/ml , and with 1.5 mg you might get 5ng/ml . 28 ng with 2.5 and almost 158 with 5 .

So then .2 ml. @bridgeburn was taking 10 mg tabs ever other day iirc.

How much room in the dropper does that take up? I haven't used anything but foam in ages. Finding the tabs is too much of a pain and expense but I can drink that amount easily and cheaply. Thanks dude.
