Hi y’all,so I’l started applying 5% minoxidil (around 0.33 mL) on my temples 20ish days ago but I’d like to switch to oral for practical reasons,however oral is much more expensive so my plan is to take 1.25 mg a day 5-7 days a week,is this a thing or should I stick to topical? (I live in Italy and 30 pills of 5 mg min cost around €17 euros).
Oral minoxidil is more potent than topical and could be more effective, but it’s pricier and might cause side effects like blood pressure changes. Taking 1.25 mg/day is a common dose for hair loss. Figure out if the increased convenience and possible results are worth the cost for you. Remember, results can take a few months to show up. Check out The Beginner’s Guide for more info on treatments.
