Is oral minoxidil work as good as the liquid kind? I hate putting that crap on daily but pills are ok.

Please be wary of taking oral minox, it's intended purpose is for heart related issues. Very risky taking this orally for hair loss.

I've been taking it for around 7 months and have had regrowth throughout the scalp, mostly in the vertex and crown area. It doesn't take much though. I take 5 mg. twice a day but Dr. Path recommends 2.5 mg. twice a day. It's not a large enough dose to really have any noticeable side effects. And it's SO much nicer than dealing with the topical stuff.

Finasteride 1.25 mg. daily

Avodart 0.5 mg. daily

Spironolactone 50 mg twice daily

5 mg. oral Minoxidil twice daily

Biotin 1000 mcg daily

Multi Vitamin daily

 

Damn, with all the stuff you put in your hair are you like a negative NW1? :D
