Does it work well or better than topical.Condition is androgenic alopecia and scaring alopecia. can I stop topical if taking orally. Is this dose effective.
Answer: ORAL MINOXIDIL;ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS Nj In my experience, oral Minoxdil works well with female pattern hair loss. We often combine it with an anti androgen such as finasteride or spironolactone well as PRP. Treatment of scarring Alopecia depends upon how long the scarring has been present. I think it's important that you use a lower dose of Loniten such as .25 mg. The side effect profile is superior are we have seen good results.

Answer: Hair Loss Basics--Minoxidil (Loniten), prp, progesterone, hair transplantation I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hair loss expert to go over your condition and advise you on best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone that work well with Minoxidil. Hair transplantation is an alternative. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Oral minoxidil It can be more effective but is is associated with a greater range of side effects. Make sure you are followed by a physician who is knowledgeable about oral minoxidil. Topical must be stopped in anyone using oral minoxidil. Oral minoxidil is not FDA approved. This does not address scarring (cicatricial alopecia) so make sure that you review with your dermatologist appropriate treatment for your particular scarring alopecia. Low level laser and finasteride present other options for treating androgenetic alopecia. Together with your dermatologist, you can determine if this is appropriate for you.
