If I were to open the capsules, split the powder in them and take approximately half a capsule per day (i.e. 1.25mg per day), would this be effective? Or would it not because the capsule has been opened so the powder would already be exposed on consumption? Many thanks.

Or is there a way in which I can deal with it with this focus.
Hello Dr, thanks for the info. I have a couple of questions: 1) What type of cardiovascular assessment should one do before starting to try oral minoxidil? 2) Does the facial hair that develops during consumption of oral minoxidil also disappear once the consumption is stopped? Thanks

Hi. Get ECG and BP checked besides a general cardiovascular examination by an MD internist. There are reports of facial hair staying the hair that comes due to OM
Would 1.25mg cause extra bidy hair to grow? Thsi is what worries me the most?

Not likely.
I was on topical minoxidil for 2yrs and in that time i switched from a cheap brand to a brand name. The difference in price was 5-10$ AUD and NO MORE greasy hair. Then after being on brand-name for 1year and consistently shedding more hair from my peaks that I was comfortable with I finally moved to 2.5mg oral. It is true that I suffered from mild headaches for the first 5ish days but from the very first tablet I was not shedding anymore.

You can use any mild shampoo. But if your native hair begin to thin, switch to baby shampoo.

Yes it grows body hair all over, even on the face wheer you do not want it to be. Mostly hair will stay after quitting treatment.

Dear Sir I was on loniten 10mg till it went out of stock. My hair started to shedd so I started to use proscar as an alternative. Resullt is not as effective as loniten but manageable. Then i started on oral biotin with oral finastride and oral minoxidil (Thailand polipharm). My hair started to shedd again so i stopped using biotin and finastride and use only polipharm 5mg (oral minoxidil )(2) tablets=10mg per day. Is it ok to combine oral biotin with oral finastride and oral minoxidil. Thank you for your time. Do have a good day.

Yes oral combination of all these 3 drugs is a common treatment regimen today for hair loss. However besides Biotin the other 2 have to be taken under a doctor's supervision.
