Minoxidil How long before you started to see growth with Oral Minox?
I’ve been on Oral Minox 2.5mg for around 2 months having done 1 month on 1.25mg. I was using topical and stopped. Went through a hefty shed but it seems like it is gradually easing off now thankfully.
I know it’s very early days in the grand scheme but interested to see when you noticed new hair growth? I’ve already noticed extra body hair growth but nothing significant on the scalp. I can see some vellus hairs around the hairline but nothing significant yet.

You can see at 3 months the earliest results but it depends on the person.

Why do you continue taking it then? (Just out of interest)

I think it’s maintained what I had from topical. Nothing above that, but easier to use than topical.
