Regular Member JoeFromFrisco Posted April 2, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted April 2, 2022 I have been taking oral minoxidil for about a year now and not seeing many results with my native hairs thickening up. I started off with 2.5MG then after a couple months I bumped it up to 5MG with no side effects (minus nose and ear hair growth). Do you think it’s safe to take 5MG and use Rogain foam twice a day or maybe bumped it up to 10MG? I feel I am one of those people who metabolizes medication very fast as I don’t respond to many meds. By the way, my HT doctor said 2.5mg is better than 5mg Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Whipaway Posted April 2, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted April 2, 2022 Why does your HT Dr think 2.5 is better than 5mg ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member JoeFromFrisco Posted April 2, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 2, 2022 He says he has seen better results with 2.5mg than with 5mg. I always thought a higher does meant better results if you are able to tolerate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
