Hello, as reccomended by the label of my oral minoxidil I am currently in the 2nd week of treatment and am experiencing quite a depressing shed. Is this a good sign that 1.5mg will work (21M Diffuse thinner) or is this not enough for regrowth?
since you’re only 2 weeks in, it’s normal to see shedding. it’s a sign the min is working as your hair cycles. 1.5mg is usually a decent starting dose, but it might take months for full results. if you’re considering upping to 2.5mg, weigh the pros/cons including possible side effects. waiting more time on your current dose might be wise to see how things stabilize.
Thanks. If I’m shedding this soon and this much, does that necessarily mean I am responding well to the drug? Also, when could i expect the shed to possibly stop?
It’s different for everyone, hard to say unfortunately.
