What oral Minoxidil dosage do doctors give male patients for hair loss?

John2701
Hi, I would like to know what Doctors give their patients (men) in terms of dosages for oral minoxidil for hair loss, I am currently on 1mg daily but I am not sure if this is a low dose for a male for treating hair loss as the only information I get online for 1mg is that it is more suited for women's hair loss. I am thinking of upping it to 2mg but would like an opinion or gauge on what other doctors offer to their patients (males)? thank you,
