Buy topical and drink it
 
oral is better for me, its a lot easier to do - just taking a pill compared to smothering your hair with topical min. oral min was also 15$ USD for a year supply, compared to topical min which would probs be ~$200 USD

I also got heart palpitations on topical, but not oral for some reason

But the side effects aren’t that big, no?

More common
  1. Fast or irregular heartbeat
  2. Bloating
  3. flushing or redness of skin
  4. swelling of feet or lower legs
Less common
  1. Chest pain
  2. shortness of breath
  3. Numbness or tingling of hands, feet, or face
Note: there are ways to drastically Minimize side effects, just do some research

topical minox twice daily on brows and temple points, works well and always make sure to cleanse wipe forehead after to avoid any collagen loss.

Regaine bro
Can you link me to your used minoxidil?
I use regaine foam on my brows and liquid regaine on temples. Foam leaves no white residue but has a shorter absorption time frame (imho not as good as liquid) but skin around eyebrows is thinner so easier for the minox to absorb anyway.

In my case Topical is better cuz it's way cheaper where i live than the oral one, but the two have cons and pros, but they still work the same i mean it's minoxidil

How bad was ur shed/ new body hair? Also did it give u any water retention(oral minox I mean)?

the shed was really bad for me, I was taking 5mg of oral min ED and after about 2 weeks I started to lose about 200-500 hairs/day, I recovered after a couple of months, was pretty tough tbh

No water retention, as I'm taking a pretty high dose of AI to counteract DUT

I hyper responded to min, I didn't have a lot of hair on stomach/ torso before I started and after 2 weeks my torso was filled out with hair
