I have used topical oral minoxidil for over a year and a half got very good eyelash results and improved my eyebrows a tone also.

i currently do a drop (2.5mg minox) in the morning and one at night for a total of 5mg.
i’m thinking of switching to oral minox pills. convenient long term.
only reason i’m thinking of switching is to make my routine more efficient and it’s easier to pop a pill with the rest of the supps than deal with the liquid.

if i switch from oral topical minox split in 2 dosages morning and night to oral minox pills at the same dose split morning and night, would i lose any gains i have made on topical oral, and would i start shedding?

you may initially say no, but topical oral minox hits the system instantly where as i hear oral minox pills is releases slowly throughout the day. i also hear a change in minox dose can cause shedding etc, and changing from a quick hit of minox to slow release minox may be treaded like a change in dose and cause shedding or something. i don’t want to lose gains of eyelashes eyebrows and scalp.

doubt the scalp will shed

and i also wanna bet u that even if u stop minoxidil altogether, you'll just lose the scalp gains and keep the eyebrow/lashes gains

i had previously stopped minox only for a bit, scalp shed like a mother fucker so i continue to use since i think i am prone to balding tho, since dad is bald and all his brothers lol. mums side all has hair, even grandad has full head of hair, like 0 norwood.

does consuming it orally mean you grow a lot more body hair too? i just feel like that makes it not worth it.

until it starts growing on your back and shoulders. i already get a small amount on shoulders and traps its very awkward to shave it. thats why i just use topical minox on hairline and eyebrows

results of topical are inferior in every way.
shaving back and shoulders is a small price to pay for better eyebrows lashes hairline, better than topical

lashes would be a major selling point for switching to oral for me anyway. dosn't seem to be any other good methods to grow them. might have to just get hair removal laser treatment if needed.
