Oral minoxidil 0.625, Does it work?

[priore]

Hi guys, anyone taken 0.625mg per day? And if so did anyone manage to get any results?

Just looking to try and take lowest dose possible as it lowers my blood pressure alot. Already on topical too, been on that for years

 

[NW9000]

Yes low doses are shown to work in studies

But if you're not diffusely thinning then imo just stick to preservation with finasteride and then dutasteride

 

[Reciprocity]

If think this does has been reported to show results in females. Not so sure about males though.

Pretty much a drop in the ocean I'm afraid. Studies have shown it has some efffect, but they also claim crap like oils work too, while in actuality that's only the case for a small minority of people with very nonaggressive balding. Many on here don't even notice the effects of 2.5mg

You can try at that dose but don't hold too much hope

 

[priore]

Thanks for the response guys. I have pretty minor balding at present so gonna give it a try. Can always up the dose if no evidence of it working

I dont get side effects from oral minoxidill at 25mg even. Dont bother with such a low dose. Use 5mg twice daily at least.

Lol srs?

 

[Mr. Slap Head]

I would opt to try 2.5mg and a diuretic if you're that worried.

Yes liquid. I havent been on 10mg twice daily long enough but yes i take 8 drops of the liquid and put it inside a capsule and swallow. I only see my vellus hairs on hairline has gotten abit darker which is interesting. But i have been losing my hairline for 10 years so it takes alot more time for me to see results.

that's strange with this dosage

Whats strange? I didnt respond to the topical formulation so im not a hyper minoxidill responder in the first place. But I heard oral can work when topical didnt and seen proof of it.

so with this way, do you have nice results or not ?
i saw a lot of results for me with 5mg until 10mf of minoxidil oral in 1-2 months

No results after a month and a half. But it took a guy 9 months to see hair growing on his hairline. And you are younger than me and havent been balding for a decade like me so ofc for me it takes alot of time.
