It's up to us, the professional patients, to tell people about oral minoxidil. I have to laugh when people say "ask your physician" about oral minoxidil because almost every medical professional I've spoken to has never heard of it. If you're lucky, you might find a good dermatologist or hair transplant surgeon who knows what oral minoxidil is. The average person on Internet hair loss forums knows more about off-label hair loss drugs than 90 percent of doctors. As for its safety, it's not approved for hair loss, but it is approved for hypertension. People have been using Loniten in higher doses (some people with high blood pressure use 40mg) since 1979. If it gave people abrupt heart attacks and made them drop like flies, wouldn't we know about it by now? People refuse to learn from history and instead, they listen to people who fear monger. The fear mongering is as bad as it is from the post-finasteride syndrome group. They think that finasteride causes suicide, depression, liver damage and permanent side effects.
Thats the thing, people DONT use it for hypertension, because it is a really shitty drug and there are 4 groups that actually work well for it
It's a good hair regrowth stimulant.
But you’re playing Russian roulette with your life! This drug was taken off the market because it is dangerous it is not even used for hypertension anymore! You want to take this drug fine go ahead no one can stop you, No one can stop you either from putting a gun to your head and blowing your brains out that’s your choice as well, just don’t try and make this drug out to be a healthy option for hair loss sufferers because it isn’t, it is a highly unstable drug that can cause lasting and irreversible effects to your cardiovascular system maybe not right away but then again you’re proposing to take this drug for as long as you want your hair which could mean 10, 15 or 20 years but I doubt you’ll be around that long anyway mate so go ahead take the gamble! I can’t believe there are so many Desperate people who will Go to any lengths to preserve their hair even if it means the high potential of heart disease which kills more people in the world than cancer! One last thing to remember once you’re diagnosed with congenital heart disease you will be on blood thinners and statins for the rest of your life you also have a higher risk of stroke all these things still don’t put you off taking this drug then you might need to see somebody regarding your mental state as only someone who is completely retarded would take these kind of risks just to keep their hair, you are A very stupid man who is being influenced by a pair of idiots on a RUclips channel who have about as much grasp of The true medical long-term outcome of taking this drug as a recess monkey!
I took Propecia tabs for 1 month and had considerable sides. Came off it and was back to normal after about two weeks. I am trying it again though at 1/4 of the daily dose to see if that’s better with me. See how it goes.
You will probably do well. I've heard of people using only a 0.2mg dose of finasteride in order to avoid side effects but keep their hair. It's best if you take the pill, stop thinking about it and go about your day. Keep yourself busy with work or a hobby that requires a lot of focusing. It will make you stop thinking about meds. When I started finasteride, I read too many Internet stories and made myself paranoid about side effects. Don't make the same mistake I did.
I have had terrible heart arrhythmia to the point where i woke up in the midlle of the night anxious and sweating profusely when i was using 7% minoxidil topical combined with dermarolling.
So there is definitely a threshold of how much minoxidil can be absorbed into the bloodstream before you get heart issues.
Now i'm back to 2,5% minoxidil topical and no dermarolling.
Yes, with any medication there will be some people who are much more sensitive. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼
@@GetLocklab Where do I get the pill you get.
I have been using 5% topical minoxidil everyday and dermarolling (2x a week) for about 2 years ...i haven't experienced any such side effects
Actually isn't dermarolling topical min directly into the bloodstream a much higher dose than oral minoxidil?
U can try sublingual minoxidil. Side effects towarda heart is 0
The difference is that black label. Finasteride does not have the potential to affect your heart the way that oral minoxidl does. Losing your libido is one thing but your heart is one of the most important organs you have and heart disease is the leading cause of death in developed countries. What is the long term effects of oral minoxidil on your heart. So imo, oral minoxidal is a valid option but I would never treat it as the same level of danger as finasteride or as easily recommend it to others.
Did I understand that correctly ? Steve has been taking Oral Minoxidil daily for 5 years with no side effects or other complications. I live in Switzerland and still don't get it prescribed by any doctor in 2023. I find it just unbelievable and I really can't explain why Europe/Switzerland with the exception of a few countries such as England is so far behind in the approval of drugs and hair research. I am glad that the market reacts and develops new treatments but also extremely disappointed that nothing arrives here or with years of delay.
Yes. We've both been on oral minoxidil for many years now.
Hi, im from Prague and im on oral minoxidil. I get rx from my dr. at private clinic and then the pharmacy makes compouned pills for me. I allways get three months supply . I know of many ppl here in Czech rep. who are on OM.
@@elel4678
Hello El El
Interesting. I didn't know that the Czech Republic also issues oral minoxidil to patients. Coincidentally, I am in Prague over Easter.
Do the local doctors/hair surgeons also issue prescriptions to foreign citizens ?
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Kind regards
Hey man you need to go to Dr. Trüeb in Wallisellen. I‘m from Switzerland too and he‘ll prescribe it. He‘s the best of the best derms regarding hair loss in Switzerland. Trust me.
@@GetLocklabhi am you on fiastinade as well as oral minoxidil
Thank you for this much needed video!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this information. I have just ordered oral minox
This is what I take. To try it go to Locklab.co and use the code FIRST for your first order FREE 😁
Started to grow excess hair on my body so went back to topical, prefer the tablet but wasnt ok for me, would of looked like teen wolf if i kept going with it
I’ve been taking 5 mg a day for eight months, absolutely no issues
Scare tactics that’s all that’s going on.
People with serious side effects are taking 20-40 mg a day, not 5 mg or less
Same here. Me and all of my friends have been on 5MG per-day for years! No issues.
This is rock solid advice.
Happy to help!
My insurance didn’t cover it 😢. Luckily, it’s only $8 a month out of pocket.
I tried both topical and oral min and it made me dizzy with blurry vision. Not worth the risk imo. I’m sticking with Finasteride even though it’s losing it’s effectiveness. I still got a full head of hair with diffuse thinning. Gonna try microneedling and Nizoral shampoo.
People respond differently to medication that's for sure.
Have you considered dutasteride?
Been on fin for a almost a year. Looking back and is insane how much hair has returned. I have a photo of when I first noticed it (I was on PEDs at that time) and the difference is massive. Is is way thicker, grows faster, and the hairline has stabilize but didn’t lower as much as I wanted to.
So now I’m hoping on oral minoxidil after being on topical for about 4 months. I just the best regrowth and what’s better than to start it now. Heard way more success stories on Oral that than topical which for me has been pretty normal. Not a hyper responder but I was getting really decent regrowth on me temple. It regrew a ton of vellus hair at my hairline, and it made my black hair even darker.
Hopefully I respond well to it, so far with topical hasn’t been an issue especially since I been using it daily for 2 years now since I been using it for facial hair which was great. Legit didn’t have shit before definitely try it if you’re baby face.
What I take is now available at Locklab.co
Hey David, what is the current density in your hairline after all of your transplants? I know you're not a graft guy, but still, grafts per sq cm or maybe hairs per sq cm, what's the final density that you have achieved, any estimate?
I’m not sure 😅
Thank u for the information. What is your opinion regarding the claim that you should take a break of about 3 weeks, after every 3 months of using oral min and also after oral fin ? Is it necessary to take a break from time to time, using these pills?
I'm 58 and no bald spots but I've noticed my hair thinning quite a bit. It's been a gradual process. I started noticing in my late 40's it seemed to be accelerating. I know it happens with age. It's getting too thin for my liking. I'm also very nervous of trying oral minoxidil. Finasteride as well. I've read too many bad stories on RUclips and Reddit. I've never knew you could have heart issues using topical. Even at my age I train in Martial Arts and weight train. i do very intense cardio. I wonder if it's safe. I posted a comment on another RUclips channel about hair loss and I received a comment 'You're 58 what do you care if you're losing your hair" Wait until that guy gets older You don't stop caring what you look like lol. I look better with hair, some guys look great bald. Not sure what to do but I'd like to do something. Another channel a guy posted he had great results with Saw Palmetto and topical Minoxidil. There is so much conflicting info. Thanks for the video.
I’m using Locklab.co …and my surgeon has had over 1000 patients on it with incredible results. My two brothers and most of my best friends are on this as well. There’s also a 365 happiness guarantee, and you can get $100 off your first order with the code FIRSTONE for as long as that code lasts 😅
Your heart will pay the price.
Still tick'n
Generally speaking, in your opinion, if hairloss has stabilized, is it necessary or effective to take Finasteride for hair regrowth?
If you’re sure you have no hair loss genes in your immediate family and you are not having any hair thinning then you don’t need to take it. Otherwise I would always suggest taking it, because it’s insurance against you losing your hair.
Gents - thx for this informative post ! I too suffer from hair loss (currently use 1mg finasteride daily) and hypertension and thought of the same approach (killing two birds) Anecdotally - vis a vis conversations with your community of oral users - do some find results with the very lowest dosages? - (of course I will discuss with my doctor) Thx for any input !
2.5MG works. I haven’t talked to people using lower than that for oral minoxidil.
I would love to try but in germany I don't get it prescribed
Try manual they do online prescription for OM
@@furb7207 I already tried that but unfortunately they don't shipping to my country. THANK you anyways
David - How much is the compound pill the you both take? Interested in this combo but concerned the cost compared to them separately. Thanks!!
Hi Derek, the combo pill I take is now available at Locklab.co and use the code FIRST for your first order FREE 😁
Hey David. I have a problem with my SMP done 1.5 years ago. It turned blue. Do you know if it disappears over the years? I saw you also have a bit of SMP left in your scar and on your head. Some people say it disappears some say it will stay for live it just fades a bit.
It depends on how it's done and the way you're body metabolizes things.
I would really like to know about the lifestyle that an Oral Minoxidil patient must have, for example…
- How much caffeine can I take?
- I like to work out and sometimes I take pre workout, is it dangerous while taking oral min?
- What about alcohol and other drugs? Is there any dangerous interactions?
- Personally, I like to smoke cannabis, will it interact with Oral Min?
Please reply if you know, the information on internet is very limited and sadly my dermatologist and my other doctor don’t know about cannabis and minoxidil…
I know a lot of people on it, and have never heard of any of those interactions being dangerous. Too much of any substance can be harmful though. Just be reasonable 😁
Stats say the risks are pegged at 1%, so statistically meaningless
What’s stats? Please can you list them for us all and who provided them I’ve never heard of any of this research?
@@christianblake3997 Google or chatgpt are your friend but just for edification, only 3.8% of men taking the finasteride experienced side effects, versus 2.1% of men taking a placebo (Mcclellan, 1999).
There are many other studies out there that indicate even lower risk profiles.
Which brand of oral minoxidil do you recommend? Thanks
I use Locklab …if you live in the US and want to try it go to Locklab.co and use the code FIRST for your first order FREE 😁
How do you get it i cant get it throught my pcp or derm . Maybe hair transplant DR?
Hi. How many years are you taking Oral Minoxidil now? And what dosage?
I use Locklab.co …been on it for about 4 years now.
Hi David do you find a noticeable difference between the oral and topical were you getting decent results with the topical?
Better results with oral, for me. I use Locklab.co
Hi David, I had a HT done in the Bay Area about 11 months ago. I noticed my scalp has a bunch of bumps (cobblestones) and from what I have read, the clinic messed up. Can I request for them to fix that or ask for my money back?
Thanks.
Talk to your surgeon, and if you're not happy with their answer consult another excellent surgeon for more feedback.
Which HT doc did you go to and how is your hair now?
Guys I'm thinking finasteride or dutasteride which is best please
@Hair Loss Hope
Hi i've started taking it almost 4 months ago first month 1.5 cause the pharmacy messed up and now 2.5 i have gotten a huge shed with it is this a good sign that it's working? or should i contact? my doctor.
Shed is normal.
@@thiefonthecross7552 you're right it stopped and now i'm seeing good results thanks
@@LaughingChaos Happy for you!
How much hair has grown back buddy? Looking like it did before? Thinking about ordering some.
I up my oral minoxidil to 2.5 3 times a day and i got back all i lost. But my hair was not bad i started as soon as i seen i was loosing hair. I was loosing mine in the front. As for side effects at taking that much, i'm native and never had hair on my arms or legs and could not grow a beard. Now i can grow one but it's not perfect, and now have hair on arms and legs but not a lot to where it's bad.
Do you recommend taking oral min twice a day or once a day?
Once per-day. I use Locklab.co
Is there any long term studies with the use of Oral Minox low dose (1 - 2.5 mg) ? Lets say using it for 5 - 20 years ? How is the efficacy and safty when used for so long ?
There have been lots of studies done showing its excellent safety profile. However, I don’t know of a 5 or 20 year long study specifically, but I myself have been taking it for 5 years and many of my friends have been taking it for up to 8 years now, with no negative side effects.
I been trying topical minoxile and finesterdie but been getting sides like pain on left shoulder and left side of the chest, blurred vision and memory issues. Been only on it 4 days what shall I do some say it could be temporary and carry on for a bit see what happens any solutions?
How long does it take for women’s hair growth? I have a prescription for 2.5 mg I haven’t started it because I’m nervous. I’m worried about facial hair and the initial hair fall.
Here cycle is typically three months, so that’s usually the soon as you will see any positive results.
you don't get crazy unwanted facial/body hair from the oral min??
I do not.
Alan Sugar looks well😂
I’ve been on 1.25mg for 6 months plus finasteride for 2.5 years still losing ground no results :(
You might get better results from dutasteride.
@@dualscreengrant I’m 21
It might also be the quality of finasteride. Try name brand Popecia, not generic or cutting the 5MG pill up ...which is probably what you're doing? Go name brand!
@@GetLocklab it’s through Roman
This happened to me. You must add a topical anti androgen to your scalp like RU.
Will I lose the hair grown on oral minoxidil if I stop the medication?
Yes
Would topical minoxidil damage my transplanted hair
No
Oral minoxidil 2.5 good or bad ??
I take 5MG of oral minoxidil day through Locklab.co
A person who regularly go to gym and do weight lifting can take oral minoxidil at low dose(1.25 mg/day)? is he more prone to side effects related heart
Plzzz reply
Me and all my friends are on 5MG per-day, and most of us go to the gym, and none of us have had any issues on it whatsoever.
@@GetLocklab thank you for reply, you gave me hope
Your "pill" contains what? 2.5 or 5 mg oral minox?
5 mg
5mg minox …if you live in the US and want to try it go to Locklab.co and use the code FIRST for your first order FREE 😁
@@GetLocklabOne day you will have a lot to answer for, it’s one thing taking a gamble with your own life that’s your prerogative but preaching this hypertension pill on a channel where there are a lot of naive and impressionable young men Who will ignore the warnings and just take more or less anything to retain their hair is totally irresponsible! Do you know the long-term dangers of taking this drug, I’m talking about over the next 10 to 20 years do you not understand the implications this drug could have on your own cardiovascular system long-term you’re sitting there grinning like an idiot but what will you do when one day you’re diagnosed with congenital heart disease which by the way is irreversible! I would like to see you in a few years come back on this channel and tell people what it feels like to have heart disease and be told by your doctors they cannot treat you until you give up taking oral minoxidil which in turn will lead to hair full and all your gains lost plus by this time your SMP will have faded you will look like the circus freak my friend and that would make for a great video just to warn the Younger generation not to listen to uneducated brainless imbeciles Like you and your friend in this video who looks actually like he’s wearing a toupee!!!😂
Hey, David, did you get PRP or HA treatment during your surgery with Dr Mwamba? I am going to have my second HT next month.
I did not.
Does it have any side effect on sperm count? Does topical minoxidil has same efficacy like oral? thanks
Oral minoxidil is more effective than topical. There could be a slight decrease in ejaculate volume, but I had two daughters while on this medication …with very little trying 😅 …so I think you’ll be good 😉
@@GetLocklab Glad to hear that:) thanks
Can I do workout if I take oral minoxidil?
Yes
Is it OK to take oral minoxidil before bed?
I do.
What a weird shirt he has on
haha
You mean Steve isn't Jesus?He resurrects your hair.
😆 …I’ll tell him to change his name!
