Oral Minoxidil for Hair Loss

[@hairtransplantinindia]

Low-dose oral minoxidil is slowly becoming a mainstay in the therapeutic ladder pattern hair loss both in men and women. However in my practice, the first line remains topical Minoxidil due to its well-established safety and efficacy profile. My protocol is explained in detail in this video.

[@prajwalbharambe343]

Hello doc. I am using 1.25mg minoxidil for a year. I see no side effects but no new hairs either. Should I increase it to 2.5mg daily? I am scared of side effects. I also have too much dandruff so topical is not possible for me.

Hello sir I m currently using oral minox 1.25 but not using finstride so can oral minox help to maintain hairline without finstride

[@KeyaDas-xk7zj]

I am a 22year old female. I have had hair loss for over 10 years. I have been using topical 5% minoxidil for approximately 4 years. I started on oral minoxidil 2.5 mg recently and I have been having amazing results. Seriously amazing results. My part is very tight anywhere I part it on the top of my head. That has been unheard of for me. The top of my head always looked like a sparse forest, and going out in the sun, you could see my whole scalp. It was devastating. There's so much more to my story, but I'm a believer in oral minoxidil.

Hello Sir, I just started using topical minoxidil from last 1 month. I have good amount of hairs on scalp but my hairs are too thin & one can easily see some scalp area from above. So I choosed to apply minoxidil for thickening thé hair & covering the small area where there’s less hairs. If oral minoxidil is more effective then topical then should I start using it with 2.5 mg & stop topical one? Or suggest me any other action as I have good amt of hairs but they are very silky

Many thanks and god bless.

Thanks. Topical does not have any effect/complications since amount absorbed into blood stream is miniscule. If you are in good cardio health and your doctor approves of you taking OM, taking it with Cialis is just fine.

[@quiche5145]

Great insights thank you doctor. Your last point, you mention stabilising the patient on Minoxidil and discontinuing Finasteride, is that correct or is that supposed to be the other way around? I find comfort knowing that I can stop the minox after 6 months or so and maintain the gains with finasteride. PS can I take this at night to reduce blood pressure drops during the day?

[@hairtransplantinindia]

Oral Minoxidil with Finasteride when the hair loss due to androgenic alopecia is rapidly progressive. Minoxidil can be stopped once hair loss reduces when these medicines exert their effect. Minoxidil when taken orally is best consumed at night before bed time.

@@hairtransplantinindia what if we alternate between OM and TM throughout the week? I switched from 5% TM once daily to 1.25mg OM daily a couple of months ago and noticed my hair is limper, possibly thinner, but I'm not losing more hair. In fact, I might be growing more hair, but I think TP was adding thickness to my hair as well if that makes any sense. This allowed me to style my hair more easily, whereas OM doesn't seem to give me that ability anymore.

[@hairtransplantinindia]

So when you start a stronger medication, it will cause shedding at first making you lose ground before the benefits kick in. Please continue as advised by your doctor.

I've been taking dutasteride and oral minoxidil for close to 9 months now and seeing great results myself. My hair is getting thicker and thicker. I actually have to undergo surgery, in which the doctor told me to stop taking dutasteride and oral minoxidil for 1 week before operation. If I do as the doctor instructed, will I lose the hair that I've grown right away and does it have to take a few months without taking those pills for that to happen?

You can easily stop medication for upto 30 days without significant loss of gains.

Hi Sir, I had a question, I am not sure if this will reach you given the video was published 2 years ago. I want to know if the efficacy of minoxidil decreases with time? For eg: I read somewhere that a person who was a great responder to minoxidil lost all the hair gained from the medication 2.5 years later. Do you have any patients to whom you prescribed this medication and is still going strong in 2+ years time frame?

[@hairtransplantinindia]

That is not true. Minoxidil will never stop progression of baldness. The course of baldness will continue with Minoxidil. The function of Minoxidil is to keep your hair thick. To stop progression is the function of Finasteride.

hello doctor , I have been using topical 5% minoxidil (morrf 5%) with finasteride 1mg for approximately 3 years.after getting results with some side effects like dizziness,dandruff,itching . when i applied it in summer due to sweat minoxidil was flowing on my forehead .after applying twice daily my hair was not looking good ,combing was so difficult. Twice daily application on scalp at now in bussy days is impossible. so 15 days ago i went to the doctor she prescribed me oral minoxidil 2.5 mg night time(after dinner) and 1mg finasteride at day time(after lunch). now the problem is after taking om 2.5 mg and finasteride 1mg for 12 days, my hair fell out . is this normal? is this hair fall or shedding ? If it is shedding then how long will this shedding continue? PLEASE reply doctor i will be always grateful to you .thank u

Shedding will happen till 4-6 weeks. It is a good sign- that the medicine is effective. Nothing to worry. Just stay the course. You are taking oral Finasteride at the wrong time. See my video on "100 fact about finasteride dr bhatti"

I agree. It has not been in use for any indication for a significant period of time and hence has to be prescribed only occasionally.

[@benchabanehocine7809]

Darling Buds Clinic hello I started oral finasteride two 9 weeks ago( two months and a week). In the two first weeks, I felt like my Shedding has decreased since I was already shedding a lot of hair before I started the treatment. But considering from the third week, my hair my hair was Shedding aggressively and I can say More than ever. According to your knowledge, when will this Shedding be halted by the drug? And when am I supposed to see the efficacy of the drug in matter of regrowth or at least in hair improvement? Also in 11:38 doctor says: he puts the patient on Oral Minoxidil for 3 months to stabilize the hair loss then moves to topical application! What if the patient sheds from all over the scalp ( due to telogen effluvium which can be chronic or due to another reason), the logic says if you move to topical, the other Areas will be affected since topical is generally applied on the top. Enlighten me please regarding this point too. Thanks a lot and sorry for being long

[@hairtransplantinindia]

Shedding is a good sign after starting a newer medication for hair loss or after changing brands since different brands have different polymorphic forms of the same compound. Shedding stabilises by 4 weeks in most cases. As far as telogen effluvium is concerned, it needs to be treated a little radically and hence the recommendation. Oral form will affect hair on top and back of head unlike topical form which is traditionally applied to the areas that are prone to thinning i.e. top of the head. Thanks for watching.

@@hairtransplantinindia thanks for the reply. But in my case, almost 2 months of continuous aggressive shedding! Is that normal? I read some articles where it's mentioned it will stabilize after 3 months as an average until 4 th month as a maximum! What's your opinion on that?
