Minoxidil over-use

[jmghair]

Is it possible to use minoxidil too much? I put it on every time i come out of the shower and also before bed. Sometimes up to 3x daily because of the gym.

Yes...to answer your question directly you can use too much!! However, I don't think 3 days a day is too much...but really you only need it twice...when you sweat it off at the gym, just wait till the evening too put it back on..it will be fine!

Beware of side effects, read their warnings.

cdog94544,

 

3x daily may not cause harm but, just like any drug, it's possible to overuse it. You really don't need to reapply it after every shower. If it's been on your head for at least three hours then the application is fully absorbed.

3 x day is nothing topically some people use 15% twice a day I'd only be worried about over using the tablets infact I'd never use the tablets full stop.

 

I presume you use it as a styling aid that's why you use it so much other than that I'd just use it twice.
