Is oral minoxidil worth it?

[Matheus]

I'm thinking about asking my derm about it next month. I have to get on fin first, but maybe later he would agree to give me oral minoxidil.
Tbh it sounds like a cheat code. Pop a pill a day and you get better eyelashes, beard, eyebrows, hair...

have you ever tought about it, with most likelyhood, someone across the internet might be pooping to your thread.

You should make sure you dont get any symptoms like water retention in your feet or bloating

you’ll become a monkey with all dat hair

I've been flirting with the idea but the sides aren't worth it. Topical is the safer bet, as annoying as it may be to use.

Why water retention in feet? Does it have something to do with the blood system?

The thing is you can't realistically put minox on lashes, even eyebrows is annoying. I scared myself a few years back when I put minox on eyebrows and I got a bit of UEE for some reason

very worth it

very worth it

You got first hand experience with it?

Yes, it improves your hair more than topical.

Oral minoxidil causes edema, if you feel slight puffiness in your feet you should quit asap

Ohh my bad I didn't notice the other stuff, thought it was just for your hair.

Well in that case maybe oral might be better. But as others have said you might grow a bunch of hair on other parts of your body too + greater potential for sides. You should prolly talk to a derm about it.

Elab

Elab

Not as efficient from what I heard and higher risks of heart problems

I actually heard the opposite regarding its potency and effect on hair growth but sides were more likely

It works like gold but topical will only work for about 10% of men

Only issue is sides then

I never got an sides from oral unless increased body hair counts.
It looksmaxer your eyelashes and eyebrows which is another good thing about it
