I started using topical finasteride/topical finasteride in March 2022. I am 4 months in and all I can say is that this stuff has worked INCREDIBLE for me. My hair is back to wear it was at 25 years old! (I am now over 50)…..If someone told me I can have these types of results in four months for 150.00 dollars I would have said they were crazy!

Darling Buds hello I'm considering to start Oral Minoxidil ( never tried topical) because I believe oral is way superior in a way it works for the overall hair unlike the topical which obviously works where it's applied only. My question is about the safety profile of the medication for a long term use. Thanks 👍

[@hairtransplantinindia]

Though Finasteride and topical Minoxidil have long term studies, oral Minoxidil does not. But if you are fit as far as your cardiovascular status is concerned and the physician has cleared to you start taking this medication and as long you are being monitored, I do not see any reason for concern since this is a low does and not one which used to be used for treated hypertension in the past.

@@a.f.s.3004 Thanks for sharing

[@BillyRogan]

It is interring to me that normal and “tested/safe” protocol is to use up to 100mg or more topically, some with higher %, in combination with trentinoin/micro needling (increased systemic absorption at over 100mg at 8% topical min in my case) - instead of only 1.25mg orally. 100 + mg or 1.25mg. Is this a fair and correct assessment? If so, I think low dose oral will continue to make more headway in common use. Would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you for the great video and information

[@hairtransplantinindia]

I would advise switching to oral Minoxidil rather than increasing topical Minoxidil dose or combining with tretinoin. It is the best protocol for genetic baldness that is available today.

[@patriciarandolph8615]

Since you posted this video 1 year ago, have you started prescribing SL Minoxidil? Can you direct me to any resources about SL Minixodil? I am a female and have been taking .625 mg. orally twice a day (the topical form made my hair sticky and smelly) but I do get a slight headache with this low dose. I have only been on it for about 3 weeks now with no effects except for shedding. I would like to read more about the SL form before talking to my dermatologist about this. Thanks in advance for your reply.

[@hairtransplantinindia]

No, this is just an informational video on request.

[@NiicoxP]

Thank you very for much this informative video. I was using topical Minox for a very long time now and I am playing with the thought of switching to oral. Do you see any negative impacts on simply „drinking“ the topical version? In my country there is no way to get a prescription for the oral form. Since it is only Ethanol, Propylenglykol and water in the mixture I don’t see anything speaking against it. Taking 50microliters of a 50mg/ml solution correspond to 2.5mg of Minox. Do you think diluting this 50microliter in water and drinking it will workout, or will the Minox have problems in bypassing the Gastrointestinal tact? If this is the case sublingual consumption would be the way to go or am I missing something?

[@hairtransplantinindia]

Please do not use any form of minoxidil except topical minoxidil (for local application only), without a doctor's prescription. Topical form is not fit for oral consumption. Also, please note that oral/sublingual minoxidil can have serious side effects eg fainting, if taken without the opinion of a doctor as it is an anti-hypertensive and decreases BP. Do not experiment with your health.

[@incognitotorpedo42]

Nico, you aren't missing anything. The type of topical minoxidil that contains only ethanol and propylene glycol should be fine taken orally. I'd recommend diluting it to a lower concentration so that it's easier to dose with commonly available tools. If you have an accurate method of delivering microliter volumes (such as an Eppendorf pipet) then dilution isn't necessary. There will be no problem with bioavailability. It's just minoxidil, same as the tablet dosage form.

[@willcoleman7639]

Is a low dose of oral minoxidil safe for teenagers (16+)? I've tried the topical for 3 months and it irritates my scalp. I do see little thin hairs but nothing major. Want to try oral finasteride but was told must be 18. I'm afraid if I wait until I'm 18 won't have any hair left. Any advice you might be able to offer me? Many thanks

[@hairtransplantinindia]

Hi sorry to know you are balding at the tender age of 16. OM or OF are prescription drugs since they carry morbid side effects alongwith for some patients. You can consult a local good hair transplant physician for help. But you should not lose hope. There are many alternatives like scalp micropigmentation (SMP) and undetectable hair systems in the market today.

[@akilbarboni4198]

I am currently using redensyl and multivitamins for 1.5 months my TE(was losing around 300 hairs daily) is i think gone but still i am losing 15-16 hairs daily due to aga. I just started takimg fjnasteride for 1 mg every alternate day for about 1 week i am thinking should i add oral minoxidip but i have slight higher bp around (130 constant but max at 145) and high pulse when i am overthinkimg aroumd (103 to 110) . Otherwise pulse is around 90 to 100 mostly . So what dose of oral minoxidl should i start with? Or should i first experiment with topical minox but i am certain it will increase my psoriasis.

[@hairtransplantinindia]

Topical Minoxidil is a huge NO with your scalp dermatological condition. Oral is better once you get a heart check up done by an MD physician. Remember it is not the function of Minoxidil to control your baldness. That is what Finasteride does. What is your age?

[@devadev3037]

If sublingual bypasses the liver how does it get converted into its active form if you already lack the enzyme in the follicle?

Probably on the second pass through the liver. I don't see any point in using it sublingually.

[@acquiesce100]

@@incognitotorpedo42 Yep. Agree

[@ncmen1]

Doctor , how long should minoxidil and finasteride be stopped for if we are planning a family ? I have come across articles which say 60 days but if it’s about the exposure of sperms to finasteride shouldn’t it be 82 days since the entire spermatogenesis cycles takes that long ?

[@hairtransplantinindia]

It is about secretion of the drug in semen not sperm motility. If sperm motility is affected, it surely wil be for a longer period of time.

[@incognitotorpedo42]

I don't see why sublingual dosage is a good idea. Many people do not have the sulfotransferase in their scalp, so topical minoxidil doesn't work for them. However, everyone has the enzyme in their liver. If you avoid first past (liver) metabolism by sublingual dosage, aren't you just subverting the metabolic advantage of oral use? It might not matter, since the liver will probably see the drug on second pass. There doesn't seem to be a point to sublingual dosing. What am I missing here?

Hello Doctor. I'm from Indonesia. I want to ask a question, please be willing to answer in full. 1. Are all brands of oral minoxidil made from the same minoxidil? Or does each minoxidil brand have a different quality? 2. The use of topical minoxidil in men is as much as 5%, if converted to units of mg, how many mg is that? So that it can be equated with its use 2 times a day. 3. What is the working half-life of taking minoxidil 2.5 mg? And if I'm currently taking 2.5 mg of minoxidil orally, does it need to be taken 2 times a day morning and night? 4. For how long should I take 2.5 mg of minoxidil and then increase it to 5 mg?

Hi Doc, I was taking topical minoxidil for 3 months and got decent progress with it. I recently ordered oral minoxidil and use it sublingually. Since it will be in a higher concentration in this form do you think I should continue using this method or just take it orally and let it go through my liver?

I have used sublingual minoxidil prescribed by the clinic described in this video for about 7 months (combined with oral dutasteride). My results so far have been spectacular. One or both of the drugs is clearly doing something. My previously thinning hair is filling in more and more each month.

[@deepakrai5664]

sir i am using minoxidil 10 percent and finestride from 1.5 year. I don't see any visible change in my hair so can i switch to oral minoxidil 2.5mg or not

[@hairtransplantinindia]

Applying 10% minoxidil solution is going to have no added benefits over 5% minoxidil. Above 5% the effectivity of the topical solution plateaus and does not increase. However, side effects like hedaches might increase. Hence, it is advised to stick to 5% concentration. It is not advised to take oral form of minoxidil without a doctor's health check-up, history taking and prescription. What dose of finasteride are you taking? Also, how often?

[@deepakrai5664]

@@hairtransplantinindia Sir 6 month i have taken finestride and minoxidil 5% but after not seen any kind of visible changes in my hair i have consulted to doctor once more then he changed the medicine from finestride to dutasteried and minoxidil 5%to minoxidil 10% but it has been approximately 11 month using minoxidil 10% and dutasteried no visible changes seen in my hair

Doctor when should i start oral minoxidil post hair transplant?

[@hairtransplantinindia]

As advised by your primary doctor. I start it when it is indicated after the post procedure routine medications are over at 5th day post procedure in carefully evaluated patients.

[@armaanshukla073]

Your treatment is good , but it’s only for rich ppl out there , bcz u have consulting fee for rs 2000 which is quite expensive according to me and most of them will agree with me , and if I spend consulting fee for 2k then medication will be more costly , which will be quite expensive

[@hairtransplantinindia]

Because we do not take up every case that we see. For those that we take up, the consultation fee is refunded. The rest paid for good advice and for the doctor's time. There is nothing unfair in this. Why would you not pay a doctor for his time? And one more thing, we do not sell medication.

Do you think our hairline can recede after switching from topical yo ofal minoxidil ?? Mine has gone back and it kinda scares me but still taking 2.5 mg everyday. Is it normal to recede after switching from topical to OM and will it regrow hair ??

[@hairtransplantinindia]

Progression happens due to DHT. Minoxidil in whatever form does not help in this regard. Who told you to expect this from Minoxidil?!

@@chauhanop1721 Very likely but some amount of progression happens even when you are doing all it takes since you cannot block all of your DHT.

Hi Dr, is the hypertrichosis permanent? There's no DHT causing the body hair to thin once these become terminal, so if we get off the medicine, the body hairs will stay no? This is how the subreddit r/minoxbeards works.

[@hairtransplantinindia]

There are reports that they can stay. However mostly they revert to original condition.

For me topical minoxidil just didn’t work. I added tretonin and didn’t help much. Now I’m takifn 0.625mg of oral minoxidil and I got side affects and quit. So now I’m shit out of luck. Although I’m still using one pill of 0.5mg dut per week and daily 1mg finasteride and non working topical minoxidil

You're not out of luck. The DHT blockers are the ones that work. Finasteride is the Anchor of hair loss treatment while Minoxidil is just a boost.
