I am currently using minoxidil topical 7 %, i am receding from, the temples, i have used minoxidil 7% for 3 yrs and though it has worked i found the hair to be fine and only grow 2 inches long, I am a male and wear my hair longer than most men, I want to use the tablet form as I have heard better results, I have read by Professor Sinclair that .25mg tablet form of minoxidil is enough to promote hair and not have high risk of side effects, my question, is .25mg more affective than 7% topical?

Use Nizoral only twice a week. It can promote hair growth in 2% concentration used twice a week. You could have delayed allergy or irritation, But for any reason if you are seeing hair loss, try stopping it and check if the hair fall improves?
