Minoxidil Three Times a Day Versus Two?

[persistentone]

What does the reserach say about taking minoxidil three times a day (every eight hours) versus twice a day? I'm thinking of taking 5% Minoxidil when waking up, going to bed, and after shower.

From what I recall reading, more than twice a day did not make a difference

Dumping Minoxidil more that 2 times a day is very effective if you can afford the side effects.

I've been trying 3x a day and I'm having sides(heart palpitations/fast rate/etc). I'm trying to use less each time but 3x per day. minoxidil response is definitely dose
related with 15% working better than 5% but with many more side effects for some.

I jumped from 2% to 5% a year ago and I had a one of the worst sheds known to man. Hair looked pathetically thin. It all came back though months later when I got on RU as well.

i would suggest increasing the % if you want better results. also try minoxidil in powder form and sulfate one. dymbing regular minoxidil 3 times is not "clever" in terms of hair benefit because its half life is 16-18 hours? but it would be interesting if someone would dermaroll heavy with minoxidil sulfate 15%
