What is the maximum daily minoxidil dosage for men ?

[MORALES]

Hi there.

I'm wondering something.

What is the maximum daily minoxidil dosage for men with %5 rogaine ?

I have miniaturized hairs in wide areas and I need to more minoxidil than normal dosage. I used it twice a day and 1 ml minoxidil equals to 5 mg minoxidil.

I used 1 x 10 = 10 ml in mornings and the same in the nights. This means everyday 50 mg minoxidil. Because I have a wide semi-bald areas ın my head. High dose minoxidil works greatly in me like hair transplant. But ıt causes sexual problems.

How can I do ? What is the maximum daily dosage for men who have wild semi-bald areas like me ?

you are using 10ml ?
your calculation is wrong. 5% rogaine 1ml equals 50mg minoxidil / ml . And you are using 10ml which is equal to 500mg or 0,5g.
As 1-2% goes of minoxidil goes systemic you get about 5-10mg or less minoxidil into your bloodstream.
if you do this 2times a day you put 1 g of minoxidil on your scalp, i d check blood pressure or go to the doctor to let everything check.10ml is not normal

I use 1 ml at 15%, is there a risk of my blood pressure crashing?

I had my BP tested a few days before starting minoxidil, it was 110/80.

I think I might cut my minoxidil in half after a thirty phase-in period. I'll either switch to 1 ml of 7.5% by diluting my minoxidil with propylene glycol, or 0.5 ml rather than 1ml of the current formulation.

minoxidil does cause also other sides as faster heart beat etc...i wouldnt care to much about low blood pressure than about other sides of minoxidil.

Your blood pressure (mean arterial pressure, known as MAP) falls on rogaine, as the diameter of your arteries expand. MAP= cardiac output x heart rate. So, the minoxidil lowers MAP... So what does the body want to do? It wants MAP to be brought up, so look at the equation. Your heart rate will increase and that is why too much minoxidil can cause your heart to race
