A one year waiting list, I don't think that's true. Let me tag @Abhinay Singh to confirm that, otherwise I'm in deep trouble lol.

There isn't a year waiting list. We do have surgeries pre planned and the dates are booked quite in advance. However, we can work out a date after discussion and coordination.

Then maybe I heard it wrong.

How long approximately is your current waiting list??

It depends on the doctor's schedule and your preferred dates. It can be worked out through coordination. We have surgeries everyday for the coming year but there are slots available.

I like the idea of going to Eugenix.

Maybe make a vacation out of it and some sightseeing.

I heard they have Bengal tigers in the North. 

Indian safari here I come!! 🤠

You can definitely make it a tour along with the procedure. You could also go for touring the royal palaces in Rajasthan, Hyderabad etc. You will get to witness a plethora of fauna and varied landscapes. The most important part being that the cost for touring in India will not be much.

Has anyone had any sides from taking oral minoxidil? Im worried I get body hair growth!

I think that’s a fairly common side effect. My chest, back and even shoulders grow hair naturally. Are you a female?

I had a little bit of lightheadness the first few weeks. I have more beard and chest hair. Never had back hair and still don't thankfully.

Few questions for you if you don’t mind..
What dosage are you on and how long?

Is it expensive?

Are you seeing results?...better results than liquid or foam if any?

I've been on 2.5mg pill daily since around aug/sept last year and I've responded better to it, notice hair all over my head is thicker instead of just the areas I was applying it before. I couldn't stay on the topical because of scalp conditions that it irritated. I'm in the US and you do need a prescription for it, got that from a hair transplant doc in my area, local pharmacy is where I pick it up. And its pretty cheap. 2 month supply is about $25 without insurance.  I use goodrx to get about a $10 discount.

If you're in the US go here and set your location to see what local pharmacies around you charge:

Same here, I hate the irritation from both liquid and foam so I am considering oral if i see it’s safe enough...good to hear that you are seeing better hair quality with it.

That’s pretty inexpensive, I’m in NY so I’ll see if a doc would prescribe it for me and yeah..GoodRx is a good way to lower the rx price. 👍🏻

Anyone using oral minoxidil get edema? That and rebound tachycardia (elevated heart rate), are probably most serious side effects.

My advice does not constitute a patient-physician relationship nor as medical advice and all medical questions/concerns should be addressed to your medical provider.

I believe that’s common with the 5mg usage. The tachycardia is not good, although, general anxiety can elevate your heart rate pretty high as well.

Amazing content! Loved the information and the talks with these amazing doctors.

Thanks for putting this together and sharing, really appreciate it since it adds so much value and gives new alternatives.

By the way, with this oral minox + with those 800 from that dence beard, your crown would come back to life for sure 😊

Where can you get this in the UK?

 2,000 grafts FUT Dr. Feller, July 27th 2012. 23 years old at the time. Excellent result. Need crown sorted eventually but concealer works well for now.

Propecia and minoxidil since 2010. Fine for 8 years - bad sides after switching to Aindeem in 2018.

Switched to topical fin/minox combo from Minoxidil Max in October 2020, along with dermarolling 1x a week.

Wrote a book for newbies called Beating Hair Loss, available on Amazon
