I’d like to switch from topical to oral minoxidil, since it seems more convenient and there are mixed opinions as to whether or not topical can go systemic on the eyelashes (don’t wanna ldar waiting to see whether it does or doesn’t). However, I looked into oral and it seems there can be long-term effects on the heart, which obviously I want to mitigate. Feeling retarded making this post but lmk, I don’t want to have heart problems at 60.

you`d be fine if you already dont got any issues with ur heart .

the side effects rate is as low as with finasteride so dont think it should be a problem except the bloat it can cause.
which can be dealt with low sodium diet or using some drugs to flush down the salts which wont let the fluid build up as much to bloat u.

try taking it before bedtime with some fatty meal as it can cause some dizziness or headaches .
