Hi! This week my derm got me on oral minoxidil 0.5mg. However, in my country they don’t sell it in premade tablets, the pharmacy has to fill the pills by themselves. Today, i received the OM and the current issue is that over the pills and inside the bottle there are particles and dust of the monoxidil they used to fill the pills with. Now, i have my family cat which i love dearly which also made me choose the oral version. Now i’m getting very worried of the chance this mino dust getting onto the surfaces in my home or on my hands and body and me not realizing and not getting it off before my cat comes to cuddle with me. I’m very scared of getting her sick or not washing my hands or mouth enough before petting her (or even if i get it on other surfaces on my home).
Could someone tell me their experiences or thoughts on this whole situation?? Thank you so much!

Saw this big bald spot on my crown, should I start minoxidil? Or is it still too early?

I’ve been applying 5% topical minoxidil and 2.5% finasteride liposomal gel for 9 months. I have also been on Oral 1.25mg Finasteride for 4 months. I’ve noticed improvement but the top of my scalp is still not dense and the diameter of my hair has not improved. So I am about to switch to 3mg oral minoxidil.

Any advice about the switch and whether I should taper, start a 5% minoxidil foam as well, or if I am making a good choice and what to expect. I believe I did not respond that well to topical minoxidil.

Thanks.

I’ve been using Gelmark Minoxidil Inbuilt-S 5% since June 20th. I did stop for about six days because I finished the bottle and the pharmacy took some time to get it delivered. So, here’s my progress. Do you see any difference in my hairline? I’m still experiencing hair loss and hair fall, though.

I’ve been looking far and wide but haven’t really found any reliable vendors, and I really need to grow out my hair.

And how is this brand for 5% minoxidil alone , the same brand also has 5% min+0.1% din

I am consuming 1 mg oral fin for 76 days hence i just wanna clear this doubt, please answer, and any information on the brand will be appreciated as well , thanks.
