Have a friend who was starting to lose hair. He got prescribed just 1.5mg and he’s good now. If 1.5mg was enough for him, what would 5mg do? :unsure:

I’m not balding at all but there are a few other reasons why I want to take oral min. If hair grows 1-1.5cm per month naturally, any clue how many cm it would grow on 5mg?

Feel sorry for the smooth brains that use minoxidil instead of fin/dut

I doubt this can be predicted as it depends on tons of other things, expect shedding imo

I told him to get on fin/dut later bc his hair will fall again lol. He doesnt know anything about hair loss medication, thats why he was content with just the oral min

I dont know exactly but the difference is very small relative to low dosages like your friend is using, go with a lower dosage

Is 2.5mg is enough for hair, eyebrow, and lash growth without the side effects of 5mg?

Alright thanks man. Is your hair growing very fast? Like are you getting more frequent haircuts because of it? Never taken oral min before. So far ive just used topical min on my eyebrows

Yeah it used to grow super slow which was kinda nice because i could get away easily witht monthly haircuts but now i get them once every 2 or 3 weeks

But the lashes mog
