you can try it and see yourself. in my opinion it will definitely help you.

around the end of 3rd month.

No. For the first 40 days i took 2.5 mg.

i’m on finasteride for alomost 2 n half years. All the regrowth is because of oral minoxidil.

No sides at all.

In india it’s easily available with or without prescription.

yes i shedded a lot for 2 months and i still shed hair but relatively less.

Thank you for your advice but i already stated that i tried the topical minoxidil for 3 years but it didn’t work for me. It din not regrow or maintain any hair. I switched to oral minoxidil and i’m seeing good results. It’s very effective and convenient. Why would i add topical if i’ve already tried it and it didn’t work for me and not convinient at all!?

Yes i used topical for almost 3 years but it didn’t work for me. I quit it immediately after starting oral minoxidil.

Start where you and your body feels comfortable and increase the dose with time to at least 2.5mg. Just don’t overthink things because when your mind starts to play with your body your chance of getting side increases dramatically. Try to take the pill and forget about it and reassess after every few weeks.

5mg in the morning.

I would say that it improved the hair quality everywhere but the most noticeable difference for me is crown because it was thinning the most. My mid scalp also got better. In short every hair looks far better than before. I can’t tell the difference between 2.5mg and 5mg because i only took 2.5 for a short period of time and then upped the dose because the data shows 5mg is the best dose for regrowth. And i shedded a lot for 2 months and i still shed miniaturised hair when i wash my head but it’s far less than before.

Thank you @ciaus. I believe it will still improve because it’s early days and there is a lot of time for improvement.

Thank you. I’ll update my progress here monthly.

Hey @Gatsby I’m sorry i don’t have anymore photos. In my opinion i thought these are clear and high quality photos and you can see the visible difference in just 3 months. What do you think about my result so far?

First 40 days on 2.5 mg and then 50 days on 5 mg. I’m also taking finasteride 1mg daily from last 3 years. No sides except more body hair which is not a problem for me or most of guys. You’ll feel some heart palpitations for the first few days but don’t quit because after that it subsides. Everyone should give it a try because oral minoxidil at 5mg is the best drug for regrowing your hair and relatively safe. There is a lot of fearmongering about this drug and try it yourself and then judge it.

Ty again. But first i’ll give oral minoxidil a year and hope it works. And if it doesn’t then i’ll contact both the clinics and discuss with them.

Ty @JC71 for your valuable advice.

I’m from india. One thing that comes to my mind that it’s not completely bald and have some hair and a transplant can cause permanent shock loss to the existing hair. Do you think oral minoxidil can thicken it up? I’ve just started oral minoxidil 5mg 3 months ago.

I’m concerned only about crown. Rest is okay okay. I’m from india so i’m thinking of going to eugenix. I like their hairlines but not sure about crown.

I’m already on oral finasteride 1mg daily for 2 years and oral minoxidil 5mg daily for 3 months. I think my crown improved a little bit since starting oral minoxidil. How many grafts you guys think i’ll require for a decent coverage if i opt for a transplant but before that i’ll give oral minoxidil a year to see the full results of it. No sides from finasteride or minoxidil. It looks worse in photos according to my family and friends and decent in reality and also depends on lighting and angles. These photos are in very harsh angle(birds eye view) and bathroom lighting. Any advise will ne valuable. Ty.
