So I'm 18 and got a straight up norwood 5 with no vertex loss. I stardted with 16 . I've never touched sh*t like propecia . Now my question I've heard of "oral minoxidil" but theres very little information about that in the Internet . SO my Questio is. With how much should I start ? And how often should I take it ? And what are the side effects ? And should I combine it with topical MInoxidil also ? ANd with 10 or 15 % ? ANd whats the absoulte maximum you should take altogether ?

Oral minoxidil without antiandrogen is the stupidest sh*t ever.

There is a reason why there is not a lot of information about it on the internet, yet millions of people use finasteride or antiandrogen against androgenic alopecia.

Minoxidil was originally a oral medication for blood pressure, so obviously one of the side effects is going to be the main effect of the drug (lower blood pressure). Even when I first started dermarolling and applying minoxidil immediately after I could feel heart palpations etc, why people want to take it orally I don't understand. Dermaroll before applying if you want to increase it's effectiveness, but even then you'll get increased systemic absorption.

So after the 21th 5mg pill I would die ? and with 19 pills I would be safe?

No, he means 100mg daily. People may be given up to such a daily dosage for blood pressure. I doubt you would wanna go above 10mg for hair loss though. Start with 2.5mg, if it's not strong enough, try 5mg.
