I started dutasteride 2.5 mg daily and I’m planning on starting oral minox 5mg daily too.

I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about how bloated it makes you and I’m wondering if it’s worth the bloat.

Good roi? Can furosemide help that bloating? Is there any other way to prevent it?

I’m not balding but there’s a lot of bald relatives in my family. So it’s about time + my hairline is shit since forever

I want my lashes and eyebrows to grow longer as well. I’m 20, what do you think?
yeah worth it just take it early in the day to minimize bloating

Don’t take lasix for minoxidil bloating

Why 2.5mg dut?

Then how can I prevent/fix it?

Because it blocks dht way more than fin does + I know eventually I’d start balding.

Also im on antidepressants so my dick barely works anyway 😭💔
 
Marked.

But what about taking it at night? Wouldn’t that allow me to wake up and flush all that out without looking like a bloatcel all day?

You don’t need 2.5, 0.5 EOD is more than enough

Either don’t take oral minoxidil cus u need to take it for life or only use it for a short time to help the dut regrowth

Isn’t 0.5 too low? My brother went bald at 21 bruh, I’m 21 too not balding but I don’t want ts to happen to me

I’m thinking about minoxidil short term for a re-growth phase with dutasteride then stopping

But its easier to flush that retained water out first thing in the morning rather than throughout the day, isn’t it?

" Taking it in the morning aligns with your body's natural cardiovascular rhythms, and staying upright and moving during the day can help your body circulate fluids, potentially lessening visible morning puffiness. [1]"

Bet w Claude 😭.

How bad is the bloating tho? I haven’t seen any example of how that looks
