If I have already been using topical rogain for almost a year what are the chances that I will shed with the oral minoxidl ? Will it just keep my hair the same as it is now? Or is it a better effect orally? Why cant I still use both? Is 1.25 the usual oral dose? Your knowldedge is appreciated. Thank you

Answer: Oral minoxidil Good question! There are no "yes" or "no" answers here only likelihoods. There is a reasonable chance of shedding even if you were using topical minoxidil. No, I never advise both together as the potential for side effects are increased greatly. This includes dizziness, low blood pressure, irregular heart rhythms, heart palpitations and weight gain (and other side effects too). 1.25 is a reasonable dose but sometimes I start much lower. I find that doses 1 mg or less are associated with least side effects and don't go higher. Be certain that you are being monitored by a physician while on oral minoxidil. It is not FDA approved nor Health canada approved and its use is entirely off label. You will need monitoring if this is what you decide to pursue.

Answer: Loniten Loniten is a pill form of minoxidil which can be taken orally but it is an anti-hypertensive medication so it must be used carefully. Oral minoxidil at at dose of 2.5mgs can be used for hair loss is special circumstances
