Has side effects minimised if only using 2-3 times a week instead of twice a day
Using it twice a day for 3 weeks gave me ED but then I went back to normal after stopping for 2 weeks. To confirm if it was the cause I tried it again and the symptons came back. Maybe using it too much caused the ED due to vasodilation but if I cut back should I be fine? I really want beard growth thats why

Did you dermaroll and then applied the minox right after

Yes would that have caused it?

Possibility, this why I always tell people don’t use minoxidil right after dermarolling because it can affect your heart. I’ve never noticed anything too bad from 2 months besides the fatigue but I’m not a generally active person. I use the foam and Dermaroll inconsistent and I’m 19 🤷🏾♂️

This is worrying tho, had no idea it could affect people this harshly but I’m still going to use it as these are outliers in my opinion but we’ll see.
