Can someone explain how Cialis and oral minoxidil are any different?

I know minoxidil is good for hair everywhere, with people saying they regrow their hairline, forehead hair, and eye lash hair too

And Cialis would do the same since it’s just opening the blood vessels and letting more blood circulate through out the body??

Sorry for low IQ it’s why I’m asking

cialis is a PDE-5 (phosphodiesterase 5) inhibitor
the 5 is important cuz that variant of the enzyme is predominantly located in the blood vessels of the corpus cavernosum(aka your dick)
what PDE family does is it reduces the level of nitric oxide locally
nitric oxide is a vasodilator
so inhibiting PDE increases NO - vasodilation - bigger cock

there are other enzymes in that family like PDE1 ,2 etc
they are found in retina and other parts of the body ,which is why viagra causes blue vision,back pain etc (cialis is specific to 5)

Cialis (tadalafil) is not typically used for hair growth, but rather for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis, which helps to achieve and maintain an erection during sexual activity. While there is some evidence to suggest that Cialis may improve blood flow to hair follicles, there is not enough research to support its use for hair growth. On the other hand, oral minoxidil is a medication that is used to promote hair growth in individuals with androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness). It is taken orally as a tablet or liquid and works by dilating blood vessels, which increases blood flow and nutrients to hair follicles, promoting hair growth. Minoxidil is believed to stimulate the hair follicles and prolong the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle.

Cialis only binds to receptors that increase blood flow specifically to the penis. You can't put powderized cialis on your face or scalp to grow hair on it.

Minox opens potassium channels specifically on skin follicles (note - this is an accidental discovery - the drug was originally researched as a blood pressure medication. The fact minoxidil even exists as a hair growth drug is purely accidental).

You can't put Minox on your dick to increase blood flow there because it's a selective vasodilator just like Cialis - they only work for a specific purpose.

we don't know how minoxidil (minoxidil sulfate) stimulates hair growth.
