Regular Member Fabulous Posted February 1, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted February 1, 2022 Hi. Idk about oral min, but after watching a vid on YT from The Hair Loss Show, in which Knudsen said that is ok to increase topical minoxidil dose I tried it. From 2ml/day to about 3ml (1.5 ml x2). After 2-3 months I had horrible chest pain. It took me few weeks until I figured out it was from the increased dose of minoxidil. I stopped using it at all for 1 week, and then for another week I used it only once a day. Now im back on 2ml/day and I have no chest pain.

I just got a transplant, so if I go on oral minoxidil during the 12-16 months growing phase, can I stop or will those transplant hairs fall off?
