Title.
I’m going to book an appointment with a derma and if they aren’t able to provide me oral minoxidil I’m going to have to settle with drinking topical
 
2 drops of a standard dropper. should be equivalent to 5mg of oral minoxidil

2 drops? What is that in ml, I’m not trying to fuck up the dosage and die of a heart attack
 
Also could anyone here answer if there’s a difference between taking 2.5 mg twice a day or 5 mg at once.

That applies to all the solutions, or the Kirkland one?
 
i did at the start, but i was over dosaging it, now with a proper dosage i get no side effects
Based brother. Keep it up. I am also contemplating running oral minox:

Hey Andy, 1) are you also on finasteride?

2) did Minoxdil regrow your hair? Do you take it daily?

Everything has been better. Still on 5mg. Very minor side effects. Hair is going amazing. Growth in eyelashes, hair thickness, new hair growth on temples, and dark thick eyebrows. Mostly density, as i always had Good Eyebrow shape, But the density was just not there

can u explain side effects u experienced and when? is eyebrow density from new hair growing from follicles that didnt grow hair before or did existing hair get thicker? also when did u start noticing hair improvement?

I noticed noticeable side effects the first month, with edema being the most noticeable, I had swelling in my legs and it was uncomfortable to sit. However i do not have this side effect now. Also my heart beats slightly faster immediately after i take minoxidil. But it goes away after 10 minutes. I think it was a combination of thick ess and new hair follicles, as my eyebrow density was spares and i had alot of bald spots on it. I noticed Good results just 2 months in. From eyebrows. It does not take a long time to see great results. And keep in mine for the first 1.5 years i was on 2.5mg. U will see way more quicker results with 5mg. Maybe even 3 weeks into the treatment

Im not scared, i used to smoke marijuana before and i was scared when i used to do that (fast,loud heartbeat) i was for sure scared then, the side effects is nowhere near from oral minox compared to smoking

nice man, so you've been taking 5mg of oral minoxidil everyday correct? any problems with heart or side effect. heard oral is more likely to cause side effects.

5mg. Ive experienced with 7.5 and 10mg. 10mg was definately too much. 7.5 still has minor side effects. But 5mg has virtually no side effects for me. (I Get massive dark circles at 10mg) But none at 5mg

I feel like I've asked this question before but is it worth it if I ingest it, given that I only want growth in my eyebrows?

Do you think 5% kirkland topical minoxidil will show eyebrow results? If i do it night and day daily? Ik i can do oral and show same results but im just curious.

Hey i started using oral minox, i was on 2.5mg for like 4 days and nothing happened. then i went to 5mg and got bad dark circles. Do you know if they go away if i push through with 5mg or should i backtrack to 2.5mg?

Will do, got me scared asf bro, i woke up and saw my eyes and then i went out and my mum was like wtf are you tired? I was like dam that confirmed it. Do you think 2.5mg will give same gains as 5mg but just take longer?
