oral minox vs topical

[hashiriya]

i want to switch from topical minoxidil to oral, mainly because I don’t like how it leaves my hair, and I also want the benefits of oral minoxidil for eyelashes.

I’ve heard the oral version can cause swelling, is it worth it?

It does cause significant bloating. Worth it if you don't mind the bloat

I’m gonna assume you can get rid of the bloat right

Yeah it's not permanent obviously, stops when you hop of usually. You can also use eplerenone to combat the minoxidil related bloat, but it's unclear if that's enough

Just low dose it at 2.5mg and kaliumaxx or a diuretic

yeah but once you stop the minoxidil benefits go away
