How much should I take oral minoxidil? A month or what?
 
Forever. Since the gains go away when you stop taking it

start at 1mg per day and assess tolerance and results for a couple months then go from there

If you want to get perma bloated then go for it bud.

Usual dosages are 2.5-5mg, anything above that is unnecessary or borderline harmful.

Again, I wouldn't recommend oral Minoxidil as it will bloat you heavily.
Why oral instead of topical? Also read this thread https://looksmax.org/threads/the-truth-about-minoxidil-the-holy-grail-or-overhyped-looksmin.1418609/
Oral minox bloats tf out of you
Exactly, topical just mogs when applied to the eyebrows or hair. Most people seem to experience better hair growth even with topical Minoxidil instead of oral.

Like with most things though.

Ive taken oral min for a while and it never bloated me. Maybe thats your experience with it
 
Never experienced bloating
What is the reason for the bloat anyway
sounds like a myth

Minoxidil bloats you because the hyperpolarization induces an increase in sodium retention through increased aldosterone biosynthesis in order to reduce intracellular potassium.

Surely youve tried oral min before?

Evidently it’s individual then. Its 2 vs 1
Maybe. I didn’t notice that I bloated until I actually stopped.

I would say it’s likely you bloated but didn’t notice like the rest.

Do you use topical now?
i use topical for age, i wonder if it bloats me honestly i don't even have before minox pics. if i stop i will lose all the hair gain so i'm too scared to try to see if i get unbloated.
