I'm taking both finasteride and minoxidil. Great results with zero side effects, better than taking either one alone.

[JT-mzoc]

I'm more concerned about the potential side effects on the heart, please could you make a video about that?

[TadRaunch]

I've been on oral minoxidil for just over a month and have noticed new hair growth on the underside of my right arm.

[Northdallasguy]

Been taking 5 mg of minoxidil for four months +1 mg of finasteride 3 to 5 times a week. No issues at all. Started minoxidil at 2.5 mg a day and after two weeks moved it up to 5 mg.

Nothing but hair growth

Hey there, could you possibly make a video showing how a low, medium and high density hairline looks like? In one of your early videos, you mention that you often get guys in complaining that they can see their scalp through their hair, but after a close examination by you guys, you can conclude that their density is well within normal range.

Take it in the evenings NOT in the mornings. If you take it in the mornings you might feel really tired in the middle of your work day. I am on month 7 and so far I have noticed longer eyebrow hairs and just in the last couple of weeks, I have noticed longer eyelashes and peach fuzz types hairs on my shoulders/upper back. I am going to try it for a year. So far not noticing any improvement on the back of my scalp which has been thin for 15 years. Perhaps I started too late.

The band is back together!! lol Good to see you guys!
I'm trying oral minoxidil. Had inconsistent results with the topical. Early on, in first months, I had great results.. About a year in, felt like super slow progress (if any).

Switched to oral, two months ago. 1.25mg twice a day (I'm male, by the way:) Felt some water retention but using dieuretics to take care of that.. Not noticing fainting spells or weird heart issues... Thankfully... Can't really tell, on progress, though. It's only been 6 weeks

what if you want excess hair growth..I need a full beard!

hi
am a regular viewer of the show and thanks for the content that helps many
don’t know if my question fits here. but asking anyway and will appreciate a short feedback.
a few days ago i met a hair restoration surgeon for consultancy as i am thinking of HT this year. he looked at my donor area and said that my donor area is weak and needs to improve till the time of HT.
so he prescribed minoxidil to the donor area and fenasterid oral for 6 months. plus biotin. i am using minoxidil on scalp(not donor area) already since years. and since 2 months fenasterid and also biotin for over an year at least.
my problem is only, i didn’t understand the logic of minoxidil on donor area for the purpose of transplant. i mean as we know, the hair that comes with minoxidil is not the hair that will stay if you stop minoxidil.
would you be kind enough to either answer the question or make a short or something because i gues this is the situation relevent for many others.
thanks in advance

Hi guys, thanks for the show and the great content. I have a question about my treatment post hair transplant (5 months ago in the UK). I'm currently taking oral minoxidil and minoxidil spray, but no finasteride. I'm seeing decent results so far but I'm told the main results will be seen 6-12 months from my op. My question is, can I continue only taking these 2x treatments or will I start to lose and damage my new transplanted hair? (i.e without taking the oral finasteride). If this is the case, what would you suggest long term as someone who would rather not use finasteride? The reason being is I know two people who had negative reactions using the drug so I'm looking at my best options without taking it. I'm not against taking it, but I'm interested to know whether it's possible to continue my treatment without touching it at all. Thank you! Oliver from the UK.

I started on 1mg oral minoxidil a year ago and now on 2.5mg. I do have hairy arms and face now. I use Tretinoin on my face for pigmentation so can’t wax my face or use laser. So I try pluck the hairs I see on my face, I can’t get them all of course. But at least my hair on my head is growing after having chronic TE

[mikeenfinger]

Love your show! One question, how uncomfortable would a strip procedure be for the first few days post surgery?

[molho]

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?

[franmorr]

What is an initial recommended dose for a woman prior to knowing how she responds to it?

[jenxsj]

What is the normal dose for a man? If I have no side effects can I take 10 mg instead of 5? Will I grow stronger hair?

[Katsem]

How does a woman transition dose-wise from topical to oral minoxidil without losing the hair that growth achieved with the topical? I’ve been on the topical for about 4 years, and would love to try the oral without going through a big shed.

[kasimir]

I am taking 2, 5 mg oral minoxidil but the doctor prescribed 5mg. I do see it has effect with 2, 5mg. Is it really necesary to take 5mg? Can i stop using it for a week sometimes? Thanks in advance!

[maphiwezandilembatha]

I started using Minoxidil and hair is growing everywhere!! I suppose I was supposed to change the dose. I've decided to stop for now especially because of the hair growing on my face. I'm not a fan of waxing and can't imagine waxing my face. 😅

[rosiey]

Thank you for this video.
I know you talked about women using oral minoxidil but is it considered safe to use? My doctor said it can cause palpitations and fluid accumulation around the heart. Plus I take synthroid for my thyroid condition.
Thank you again.

[sameerahmed]

Is it okay to take minoxidil and finasteride together on the same day. Is it okay to take both everyday or alternate between the 2 tabs? Thanks
