    Default anyone try minoxidil tablets?

    anyone try minoxidil tablets for hairloss instead of the topical?

    I really suck at putting on topicals but i'm really good at taking pills.

    plus if I can take pills, I can put other topicals in my regimen.

    Not a good idea.

    You will get nasty side effects and hair in unwanted places. It also wont be direct and much less effective.

    It's a blood pressure medication, it will lower your blood pressure.

    Bad idea man

    Topical minox (eg Rogaine) is just that...topical, meaning the drug action remains in the area where it is applied. There is some absorption into the body, but nowhere as much as taking the pill form.

    I've used Minoxidil Tablets on and off for a couple of years. Initially everything was fine and I had really good regrowth and my hair even thickened up on my hands and chest. Then I started getting palpitations and then eventually edema (swelling of the limbs). I was taking 2 x 10mg Noxidil Forte tablets a day. I then reduced the dosage to 2 x half tablets a day and the symptoms when buy I was concerned about causing long term damage to my heart so I decided to use the tablets for 3 months to give me a "boost" and use the topical spray continually. This seems to work really well and I have great results. I buy my Noxidil Forte online from Thailand. If you Google Noxidil Forte you should find some suppliers who ship internationally.
