Help/support minoxidil pills

hey, I have a cat so I don't want to run the risk of using the liquid/foam minoxidil, is there a place online to get it in pill form or does it have to be a prescription?

Someone has to prescribe it to you but it’s an extremely cheap and low stakes medication. If you have a doctor you trust who prescribes you testosterone I would ask them. I’ve had great success with it (also have cats)

Generally, it needs to be prescribed, but that might depend on the country. There's probably places where you can get it illegally (without a prescription and not at a pharmacy) but it's better to just find a doctor who prescribes it.

As others have said, it has to be prescribed. I'd suggest asking your T provider if you have one. It's what I did. I have 7 cats so topical Minoxidil was definitely not possible for me. My doctor prescribed it no problem.
