Senior Member HarryHonolulu Posted December 30, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted December 30, 2022 Hey all I just hopped onto the Oral minoxidil band wagon. My doctor suggested starting at 1.25mg for a few weeks and then moving up to 2.5mg if I don't see any side effects. The question is... might 1.25mg produce results? Is it a good idea to keep taking 1.25mg for 4-6 months and seeing if I am a lucky enough to see improvement on such a low dosage? Or would I be wasting time?

You’ll find some studies out there showing improvement with these super small doses, but if you’re a man weighing over 65kg - I believe 5mg daily is what you should try to aim for in order to give yourself the best chance of experiencing results. Smart move though starting off small and increasing should you be ok. I did 2.5mg daily for 6 weeks before moving to 2.5mg 2x a day. All the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HarryHonolulu Posted December 30, 2022 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 30, 2022 thank you Curious did you find that 2.5 produced good results? or not- and that is why you doubled the dosage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
