i need to know if i should purchase pill or take it orally

currently im applying a foam minoxidil to my eyebrows but i want to switch to oral or pill,
i want to also grow my lashes not just brows, but i dont want to pay $100 for latisse, so i want a pill or oral that just grows it all

okay final question,

thank you very much for this info, i was confused but now you made it simplified for me

i will take oral minox, is there any point in adding castor oil to the eyebrows at the same time im taking minox, is there anything else i should do other than the oral minoxidil. for example

1. 2.5mg ED oral minox
2. lotion eyebrows
3. castor oil on eyebrows
4. derma roller on eyebrows
You can put caster oil on it too I guess, but I doubt it'll do anything notable.

Dermarolling is quite irritative to the skin due to the dragging motion of it. Microneedling/dermastamping/dermapressing is a less irritative method and will help with the penetration of topical minoxidil, this effect is also similarly achieved...
How would you consume a pill if its not orally?

Latisse will nuke your eye area, just get oral minoxidil, it'll systemically grow your hair. Topical minoxidil isn't that researched and it has difficulty penetrating the dermis

im a retard sorry, i just realized taking a pill IS orally, bro im high i swear im sorry this is so embarrasing

I would consume probably one 2.5mg pill a day. I would take 2 pills, 5mg per day in total, but im only 15, so i would be worried about heart issues

what about oral castor oil? is it a better alternative. also could you link me a source to oral minoxidil the only one i can find is researchem minox

okay so youre saying i should just take the pill version of minoxidil,

do you think castor oil is better or minox gives faster results, i heard minox bloats face a lot and results arent permanent

Just take 2.5mg. I don't think I've heard of people really needing more for hair treatment, remember it was made for high blood pressurecels originally. The saying is to take 1.25mg for 14 days then 2.5mg indefinitely.

Oral caster oil again is one of them oils which are promoted, like rosemary, to be miracle treatments, but research is minimal and seemingly comes from tradition and folktale. Common stuff in Jamaica.

It depends on your country, in the UK, you can go on any pharmacy website and answer a questionnaire on your "symptoms" and then they'll let you purchase it

You can take caster oil if you want, but minoxidil is the go-to obviously

Yes.

Minoxidil is superior. Minoxidil is more researched, simply put. It is quite literally a prescription drug. Minoxidil can make you retain salt and water, but these side effects listed by the pharmacy are rare, and seemingly only happen to those taking it for high blood pressure (starting dose is about 0.2mg/kg for children which is incredibly high relative to hair loss treatment doses). Remember, they have to tell you the possible side effects of anything they give you, doesn't mean you'll experience them. Last time I saw, these were approximately 1-2% of users, including blood pressurecels.

Yeah minoxidil is more a maintenance therapy rather than a cure, same with dutasteride and consequently finasteride.

Finasteride + minoxidil is a common stack

But, oral minoxidil solely is the way to go. No need for these extra gimmicks, you'd spend more money using topical minoxidil trying to get it to catch up to oral minoxidil's lone effects.

Your routine should just be:
  1. 2.5mg oral minoxidil
  2. finasteride/dutasteride (optional but very effective)
