Hello everyone, I was on topical minoxidil for 9 months, then I stopped it and I switched to twice a day 5mg oral minoxidil 3 months ago, I confirm it's more effective. I didn't notice any side effect, my body hair is already thick, I am 26 years old.
@@TheHairLossShow sir if a guy is already using topical minoxidil and he is done with the shedding phase that usually happens after using topical minoxidil ...nd now if he starts taking oral minoxidil instead ...then also he is gonna se the shedding phase of scalp hairs yet again?
Need a further video on possible side effects with low dose lonetin and since studies are limited, perhaps your own experience prescribing it to patients. Thank you!
hi doctor, could you please let us know what are the side effects related to blood platelets , white blood cells, clotting and so on... when we consume minoxidil orally
PLEASE MAKE MORE IN DEPTH VIDEOS ON FEMALE PATTERN HAIRLOSS , ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA. PEOPLE DO NOT REALIZE HOW MANY OF US IT AFFECTS ESPECIALLY FROM AN EARLY AGE. I started losing my hair since i was 17, I am now 32. Always looking forward to your videos, but I would like to learn more about this issue that is probably more emotionally devastating to us women, more than men, and yet.. we do not get as much information on it as we should. THANK YOU! God bless
ME too, I started at 17 and I did not know about the FPHL so I thought it was from stress but it never stopped since. AT 27-28, I barely had hair to get the pony tail and I still did not know WHERE or WHICH doctor I should visit because seem like no one talked about this kind of hair loss in my country. at the age of 40, well, I just started the treatmnet..sad
You Definitely should and I hope you do get more videos on that topic for sure but don't say it's more devastating for girls. Losing your hair is equally bad. I've shaved my head last year to try and embrace the baldness but loads of girls said I looked way better before (I didnt tell them I did it because of androgenic alopecia). Been balding since 18 and I'm 22 now, started taking all kinds of drugs that effect my hormone levels and even sexual health just in the hopes of getting some of my hair back. Balding sucks for everyone, not just women. That's all I want to say.
Thanks for the comment!! Ive some questions: -do you've any before and afters pics? -did you get any side effects? -what dose are you taking? -Are you based in the US? im trying to find a doctor here that has experience. Thanks any info would be appreciated!!!
@@mikebrown965 I do, DM me and i'll send it to you. the hair doesn't just grow on your head but everywhere else like your back and fingers but I feel it is a small price to pay. I take the lowest dosage possible(consult your doctor).
I was having terrible hair loss earlier this year because of androgenetic alopecia. My dermatologist prescreibed shampoo + topical minoxidil + capsules of minoxidil and after 3 months i had really a lot of hair on my scalp 😍 BUT! Then the dermatologist suggested I stop taking the capsules, and my hair started to fall down a lot again 🙃 so i am back to the capsules now
@@davidanana Because minoxidil only promotes growth and does not slow the cause of the hair loss which is what FIN and DUT can do. They block DHT in the scalp. YOu have to target both.
Hi, I read on Wikipedia that cardiac lesions and pericardial effusion have been reported with oral minoxidil. Do you view these as cause for concern with the dosage for hair loss? What dosage in men do you think is best to avoid these possible side effects while also stimulating hair growth?
Cardiac lesions were detected on some animal studies but not monkeys or 150 humans who had autopsies performed after taking much higher dosages for blood pressure.
I am using 1.25 mg for a year. No side effects but no new hairs. I am going to increase it to 2.5 and instead of finasteride start dutasteride which is the same price.
Minoxidil had a black box warning and is rarely used for BP due to side effects. One of them is pericarditis which is a buildup of fluid around the heart.
Hello, I was recently prescribed 2.5mg oral minoxidil capsules to take daily. If I were to open the capsules, split the powder in them and take approximately half a capsule per day (i.e. 1.25mg per day), would this be effective? Or would it not because the capsule has been opened so the powder would already be exposed on consumption? Many thanks.
Hi doctor , it's been five years for me using topical minoxidil. In the initial years I found it effective but now I can see the hair thinning a lot so should I additionally take 2.5 mg oral minoxidil at night with topical 5% minoxidil at morning.
They are plenty that can’t use any topical, cause of the type of job or lifestyle, fishermen, surfers, swimmers, wrestlers, firefighters… some surgeons… u name it! Always talk about options with ur specialist.
Hi Dr, I have been on topical Minoxidil 5% for more than 10 years, now I feel a significant decrease in terms of effectiveness. Do you believe oral would be a solution? does generally oral considered more effective in compare with topical? Thanks
Hey! I got a question! So I'm currently changing from topical to oral minoxidil. The thing is, I've been on topical for a few years and it's minoxidil 5% which I applied twice a day. Now, I'm consuming 2 tablets of minoxidil 0.5mg each, and I'm afraid that it might be a very low dosage compared to the topical 5%. What are your thoughts? Should I get bigger tablets? Or maybe combina the oral with the topical? Thanks ;)
What happens if you’re taking minoxidil and you later decide to get a hair transplant because you don’t want to commit to taking it every day? Would the hair transplant still be effective given that shedding is likely to occur?
So if we use oral minoxidil there will. not be further shedding like 2nd shedding? Plz rply.. Am currently going thru 2nd shedding(topical. Minoxidil )

Good day, Doc I have already had two laser hair removal sessions on my full arms and I am going to continue with this treatment every 6-8 weeks until 6 sessions are complete. My question is, if I start taking oral minoxidil now will it regrow the arm hair/ counteract the laser hair removal treatment?
Only electrocution kill follicle or your own immune system or area turned scar from physical injury ...other things and treatment are temperory hair might popout or propogate
Ive been using topical Minoxidil for a year and a half with great results but the last 2 months my hair started falling out again. A dermatologist put me on 2.5mg Oral Minoxidil today. Seeing i was still using the topical up to today will i still have shedding with the Oral Minoxidil?
i take 10 mg tablet minoxidil / day since 20 years.....my question: if i would run out of tablets, could i drink instead 0,2 ml of the 5% lotion daily ?...would it be the same..same effect ?
Yes you lose everything on your head. Not sure about beard or other body hair though. There's a few people I've seen like with minoxidil beards who've been able to keep around 60% of their new beard follicles
my question about oral minoxidil is that what if you are not a diffuse thinner, but a receding hairline kind of guy. won't oral minoxidil affect you because with topical you can apply directly to the receding hairline ,but oral will affect your the whole head.
That is why I start on 2.5mg oral minox as I'm a diffuse thinner. I have a full head of hair, it's just very thin (I'm 52 so I guess that's aging for you). we shall see if it helps. I've been on DUT for 3.5 years which completely has stopped any hairloss/thinning.
Really appreciate all this expert information for free! My aussie dermatologist recently introduced me to oral minoxidil and he felt it was far more efficacious than the topical form. Curious to see if I make any beard gains as well
Hey doctor, great channel, authentic tbh. I have a question. I have been on topical minixodil 5 percent for the past 2 months now and I am noticing small hair on my back, arms, back of the hands.. basically generalized hypertrichosis due to minixodil topical. Please make a video about it if you can. Lots of blessings 😍
If I had side effects from topical Minoxidil, would you recommend taking the tablets? My dermatologist wants me to try them even though I told him I experienced hypotension and lightheadedness just with the topical version...
I've been taking 2.5 mg daily for the past 6 months now, and I have been completely fine. The topical stuff used to give me some major headaches, and even heart palpitations. I hear the oral version is dangerous, particularly for the heart, but I've been fine so far. I don't know if you should do it or not, but just sharing that info with you.
I'm exactly the same as you. Plus I get a rash on my leg from the Propylene Glycol that is in 5% Minoxidil and hypotension. Tempted to try tablets and see if they're any better. One thing I've found is that one box of 6x minoxidil may be formulated slightly differently than another batch of 6 as my rashes vary from batch to batch.
Can Oral Minoxidil works on thickening the hairline and turns the vellus hair into terminal hair. I have a number of vellus hair on the hairline but finasteride and topical minoxidil are still not turning the vellus hair into terminal, after 4 months.
After my HT i need to stop topical minoxidil for at least 1 month, right? Because it can causes skin and hair irritation. What about the oral version? I mean you dont have to put it on the surgery area. It goes directly thrue my blood. So is it possible to start it earlier?
Hi doctor, you spoke about young, fit people in good health... But what about not young people (always in good health) as 50 years old people? Can they take 2.5mg per day safely? Thanks
@@DOCFIT_09 So far so good. 6 months in. I do experience higher heartbeat. I can definitely feel it on my system but diesn't bother or hinder anything. Hair has thickened a lot, it's great.
@@LarsRyeJeppesen my condition is very pathetic… I started to use Kirkland minoxidil around 3-4 years ago when I was 22-23….at first the results were great…i also tried different brands of minox and it worked for me….but after 2-3 years i lost around 40-50% of hair which i gained from it regardless of applying it daily at night…after that my hair growth became totally stabilized like no more regrowth and hair also became very thin…few months ago i consulted a dermatologist and he gave me dutasteride with minox….after taking dutas for 4months still no improvement in hair and growth….so i started finasteride now 6 days a week with dutasteride 1day a week…and also started oral minox 2.5 mg from yesterday…!
it was mentioned that it's not needed to use the full 10 mg of oral minoxidil, but will using the smaller dose affect us in anyway in our hair growth journey? - will it take longer to see results on head hair? - will we see less hair growth? one more question, what would you say to maybe using topical minoxidil until we see our desired results, then switching to oral minoxidil to maintain that hair growth? stick to your recommended lower than 10 mg dose ( a fourth)? and is 10 mg of minoxidil overkill or is it okay to play it safe and use the full 10 mg to see results?
No one is recommending any higher then 5mg. In fact most say 1.25 - 2.50mg is fine. 10mg will lower your blood pressure and cause fluid retention. Not healthy.
10mg is way to much. You don't need that much drug to grow hair. A larger dose is not more effective. It just exposes you to more side effects, some of them nasty. Besides, you will have a hard time finding a reputable doctor who will prescribe this high a dose. Men who take these high doses buy it on the internet without a prescription from an unlicensed vendor. Don't do that. Much like with street drugs, you have no idea what you're getting.

Hello Dr. Do you think using a dermaroller with oral minoxidil will have some benefits? Or is it only with topical. Thanks
No, you can use any formulation.
You could maybe combine with some natural type of oil that might help. Whether it truly helps I don't know, but it certainly won't hurt
I used the topical minoxidil for three months with no problem, then the itching and rashes started. Now my Dr. Rx oral minoxidil. Is this going to be just as effective as the topical? And is my hair going to do the dreaded shed again? I hope this works. Im getting really tired of trying things that only make me feel worse.

My doctor prescribed 1mg of oral minoxidole...is this a proper dose?
Can i take a low dose from something like furosemide e.g. 5 or 10 mg just to avoid sodium&water retention effect?
That is like playing whack-a-mole.... Certainly not something I would advocate.

Can you pls let us know about biotin too?
Is it good to take it with Finasteride 1mg?
As pills or shampoo?
What you recommend?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Finasteride remains in your system for atleast 3 days straight....so 0.5 mg of fin daily will do the job with very less likely of side-effects..... checkout his other videos on finasteride

What's the long term(10-20yrs) safety, efficacy and efficiency of low dose(2.5gm)oral minoxidil! I am21, NW3, planning to start on Oral minoxidil (as topical is too time taking and needs consistency which I obviously lack).if I start on it I would potentially be taking it life long as long as to keep my hair! So long term efficacy and safety does matter to me!
If you want to keep your hair you will have to go on finasteride too!

@@greymind0072 I wanna know about the oral minoxidil brand bro , I'm started taking it from today!
you think topical is that hard to use? Have ever even tried it? Use the foam, it dries instantly the whole process takes like a minute, twice a day. youve got bigger problems if you cant get that done, tf is wrong with you

Any side effect on using oral minoxidil + finesteride? Suitable use together as long term ?
For most men who are on them, no; but there's always some who get side effects.

Do I take it along with finastride / propecia?

Will oral minoxidl stimulate body hair growth when you're on oral finasteride as well? Pleas answer It's very important to me.
Yes. They work in different ways.
@@TheHairLossShow Thank you, that's awesome! I was not sure because body hair needs DHT to grow but at the same time finasteride doesn't block type 1 5-alpha-R which is situated on the skin.

Good day, Doc
I have already had two laser hair removal sessions on my full arms and I am going to continue with this treatment every 6-8 weeks until 6 sessions are complete.
My question is, if I start taking oral minoxidil now will it regrow the arm hair/ counteract the laser hair removal treatment?
Only electrocution kill follicle or your own immune system or area turned scar from physical injury ...other things and treatment are temperory hair might popout or propogate
Did minoxidil help you?
Laser hair removal is rarely permanent. I use the Philips laser removal tool, works very well
How much did the laser removal cost?
Did pharmacies in Papua New Guinea sold minoxidil?

Ive been using topical Minoxidil for a year and a half with great results but the last 2 months my hair started falling out again. A dermatologist put me on 2.5mg Oral Minoxidil today. Seeing i was still using the topical up to today will i still have shedding with the Oral Minoxidil?
Apne use kiya oral?
i take 10 mg tablet minoxidil / day since 20 years.....my question: if i would run out of tablets, could i drink instead 0,2 ml of the 5% lotion daily ?...would it be the same..same effect ?

@@hiderhip2174 yes..and i'm not the only one ....0,1 ml is like the 5 mg tablet, no need to buy the tablets.....same results....
Do you lose progress gained with oral minoxidil even if you stop using it?
Yes you lose everything on your head. Not sure about beard or other body hair though. There's a few people I've seen like with minoxidil beards who've been able to keep around 60% of their new beard follicles
By taking minoxidil orally, will it both help hair aswell as beard growth?
Yeah im 3 weeks in already seeing more hairs on my face. Cant imagine what its gonna look like a year from now
你好醫生，如果我服用了5mg的minoxidil一個月，可以直接停嗎？
my question about oral minoxidil is that what if you are not a diffuse thinner, but a receding hairline kind of guy. won't oral minoxidil affect you because with topical you can apply directly to the receding hairline ,but oral will affect your the whole head.
That is true.
That is why I start on 2.5mg oral minox as I'm a diffuse thinner. I have a full head of hair, it's just very thin (I'm 52 so I guess that's aging for you). we shall see if it helps. I've been on DUT for 3.5 years which completely has stopped any hairloss/thinning.
@@LarsRyeJeppesen how is the oral min coming?

If I had side effects from topical Minoxidil, would you recommend taking the tablets? My dermatologist wants me to try them even though I told him I experienced hypotension and lightheadedness just with the topical version...
I've been taking 2.5 mg daily for the past 6 months now, and I have been completely fine. The topical stuff used to give me some major headaches, and even heart palpitations. I hear the oral version is dangerous, particularly for the heart, but I've been fine so far. I don't know if you should do it or not, but just sharing that info with you.
I'm exactly the same as you. Plus I get a rash on my leg from the Propylene Glycol that is in 5% Minoxidil and hypotension. Tempted to try tablets and see if they're any better. One thing I've found is that one box of 6x minoxidil may be formulated slightly differently than another batch of 6 as my rashes vary from batch to batch.

@@DOCFIT_09 So far so good. 6 months in. I do experience higher heartbeat. I can definitely feel it on my system but diesn't bother or hinder anything. Hair has thickened a lot, it's great.
@@LarsRyeJeppesen my condition is very pathetic… I started to use Kirkland minoxidil around 3-4 years ago when I was 22-23….at first the results were great…i also tried different brands of minox and it worked for me….but after 2-3 years i lost around 40-50% of hair which i gained from it regardless of applying it daily at night…after that my hair growth became totally stabilized like no more regrowth and hair also became very thin…few months ago i consulted a dermatologist and he gave me dutasteride with minox….after taking dutas for 4months still no improvement in hair and growth….so i started finasteride now 6 days a week with dutasteride 1day a week…and also started oral minox 2.5 mg from yesterday…!
@@DOCFIT_09give it more time, it all depends on the growth cycle of your hair. I only improved on Dutasteride daily, after about 10months.
Is Prince William saving up for these tablets ?
Could his dad lend him the money ?
it was mentioned that it's not needed to use the full 10 mg of oral minoxidil, but will using the smaller dose affect us in anyway in our hair growth journey?
- will it take longer to see results on head hair?
- will we see less hair growth?
one more question, what would you say to maybe using topical minoxidil until we see our desired results, then switching to oral minoxidil to maintain that hair growth? stick to your recommended lower than 10 mg dose ( a fourth)?
and is 10 mg of minoxidil overkill or is it okay to play it safe and use the full 10 mg to see results?
No one is recommending any higher then 5mg. In fact most say 1.25 - 2.50mg is fine. 10mg will lower your blood pressure and cause fluid retention. Not healthy.
10mg is way to much. You don't need that much drug to grow hair. A larger dose is not more effective. It just exposes you to more side effects, some of them nasty. Besides, you will have a hard time finding a reputable doctor who will prescribe this high a dose. Men who take these high doses buy it on the internet without a prescription from an unlicensed vendor. Don't do that. Much like with street drugs, you have no idea what you're getting.
