Low-dose oral minoxidil is slowly becoming a mainstay in the therapeutic ladder pattern hair loss both in men and women. However in my practice, the first line remains topical Minoxidil due to its well-established safety and efficacy profile. My protocol is explained in detail in this video.
Hello doc. I am using 1.25mg minoxidil for a year. I see no side effects but no new hairs either. Should I increase it to 2.5mg daily? I am scared of side effects. I also have too much dandruff so topical is not possible for me.

You seem like a really great doctor. Really good content
Thanks
Thanks - very thorough and balanced. Helpful !
Great video. Your explanation is soo good. Thanks for sharing this video with us.

Thank you sir for very useful information.
Thanks for watching the video.
It's really a helpful video very happy to introduce with this thank you for making this please keep it up recommend to all please watch this video your concept will be cleared
Thank you, I will
Hey Dr thank you for the video, great watch and loads of information so bless you for this.
My question is the combination of Oral Minoxidil and other medications like Cialis 5mg daily and the complications this could cause?
Would using topical have the same complications?
Many thanks and god bless.
Thanks.
Topical does not have any effect/complications since amount absorbed into blood stream is miniscule.
If you are in good cardio health and your doctor approves of you taking OM, taking it with Cialis is just fine.
It's really a helpful video very happy to introduce with this thank you for making this please keep it up recommend

Very good project. So wonderful video

Thank you, darling Dr.

Good to see you Dr Bhatti.
Thanks
This video is really amazing
Thanks
Great insights thank you doctor. Your last point, you mention stabilising the patient on Minoxidil and discontinuing Finasteride, is that correct or is that supposed to be the other way around? I find comfort knowing that I can stop the minox after 6 months or so and maintain the gains with finasteride.
PS can I take this at night to reduce blood pressure drops during the day?
Oral Minoxidil with Finasteride when the hair loss due to androgenic alopecia is rapidly progressive. Minoxidil can be stopped once hair loss reduces when these medicines exert their effect.
Minoxidil when taken orally is best consumed at night before bed time.
Hi Doctor, thank you for your information.
Would like to ask if impossible to do a Combination Tofacitinib 5mg and Oral Minoxidil 2.5 . Appreciate your response thank you
There is no interaction. You can.

Hi Doctor, if you have low sulfotransferase enzymatic activity, does Oral Minoxidil work? I know that topical wouldn't work, but not sure if Oral would overcome that issue? I was tested for my sulfotransferase enzymatic activity levels and it came back confirming I would be a non-responder for topical minoxidil, so I'm hoping Oral minoxidil will overcome that issue. I would really appreciate your feedback on this.
This is a very nice video.really halpful video.
Thanks
Hi Doc, Hopefully not too much of a personal question but I wanted to ask if you yourself had ever taken finasteride oral or topical and the same with minoxidil? Many thanks
Yes I have had 2 procedures for my grade 6. One FUT in 2007and FUE in 2012. I am on Finastride to stop progression but since it is stabilising now I will stop it very soon
@@hairtransplantinindia considering another procedure?

Hi doc..what would u comment about the fearmongering regarding this medication leading to cardiovascular sides.
Thee sides are not fear mongering they are real. However healthy people can take it without much concern as long as they are being followed up by their doctor. Not to be taken OTC.
Hey doc, can you consider making a video on the use of robotics (ex: ARTAS) for the extraction process? Have they come a long way since first introduced? Is there a particular reason why you have yet to incorporate it into your practice?
I cannot comment on ARTAS since t is trademarked. However robotic hair transplant never took off. many machines are lying vacant. Several adverts can be googled where clinics want to dispose it off. Also this aside, will you pay USD 8 per graft?
@@hairtransplantinindia That would explain why I see more and more robotic hair transplants being available at new clinics. I would never pay $8 USD/graft. I have seen clinics offering it for much less.
@@KingRockets Robotics never took off in this field because it is a 100% skill based speciality.
Hello - thank you for a very informative video .
May I ask your opinion of a relatively new product developed by dr Andy goren - it is for people who lack the sult1a1 enzyme and who do not respond to minoxidil .
The product is available through Daniel Alain - and is to be applied before applying to minoxidil to help make the enzyme needed to process the minoxidil .
I just started using it - other than a lot of shedding - it’s too soon to know .
Would love your opinion .
Thank you .
Yes I heard about it. It has 0.025% tretinoin cream.
Great video sir
Thanks
Can increasing oral minoxidil dose from 2.5 to 5mg induce another shedding phase? Thanks for the informative video.
Yes it can
Doctor is the popular brand of oral minoxidil be used and will it have any superiority over other generic brands due to the inactive ingredients?
Yes there is variation.
Thank you so much for your highly informative video. I was prescribed 2.5 mg of oral minoxidil as a 37 year old female who cannot use tropical due to dermatitis. I also take 100 mg of spirinolactone. Does 2.5 mg seem too high for a female (5’9”, 140 lbs extremely active) re side effects? If so, what dosage makes sense? Thanks!
many women take 2.5 mg according to what the doctor feels is right for them. He/she will know your condition best.
Hi did it help ?did dermatitis come under control
Hi Doctor, Thank you for the bunch of information ❤ as today my doctor prescribed 1.25mg oral minoxidil at bed time and I have two 3.2mm of kidney stone so can I take oral minoxidil even after having kidney stone?
No problem with kidney stones.
I am a 22year old female. I have had hair loss for over 10 years. I have been using topical 5% minoxidil for approximately 4 years. I started on oral minoxidil 2.5 mg recently and I have been having amazing results. Seriously amazing results. My part is very tight anywhere I part it on the top of my head. That has been unheard of for me. The top of my head always looked like a sparse forest, and going out in the sun, you could see my whole scalp. It was devastating. There's so much more to my story, but I'm a believer in oral minoxidil.

I will do my hair transplant next month.
I started 2,5 mg of oral minoxidil and 0,5 mg finasteride once a day in October ( thanks to your advise I will start taking at night the finasteride )
-Do you think is the right dose ?I am 41 years old with spread general thinning and hair loss
-when should i do my first finasteride break ?
-and also I would like to know when I can start swimming in the beach after my hair transplant?
-when I should stop finasteride and minoxidil ?
Kind regards thanks for all your info
Please stop medication 7 days before procedure. You can swim after 3 weeks. The right dose can be assessed after blood tests and consultation by your treating doctor.
I was for a couple of months on 2.5mg of oral minoxidil, but I had elevated transaminases maybe due to it. I also had lower than usual leukocytes and platelets. I think the long term safety still remains to be established overall
I agree. It has not been in use for any indication for a significant period of time and hence has to be prescribed only occasionally.
What tests do you need to measure those things?
@@ryebread7905 complete blood count for leukocytes and platelets and liver enzymes such as AST, ALT and GGT
@@crownzac More importantly a complete clinical cardiovascular assessment.
thats why u start at at .5mg
Hi doc!! It’s really urgent so please do reply. I’ve been on oral finasteride for about 4 months but I don’t know how to tell if my hair fall has stopped. I lose like 8-10 hairs when I take a shower and might lose a couple when running my fingers through it. One difference I’ve noticed is that before my thinner hair would fall out. Now its the thicker ones.
We do lose 100 hairs every day since the hair cycle is ongoing. These are very few hairs you are losing. You should be worried only if your hair are thinning or hairline is receding or a bald spot is developing.
Hi doc. I switched from topical to oral 2 months ago. First month used topical with oral and dropped 1 month ago the topical. I am shedding like crazy now! Is this a good thing or should I start using topical again?
Hold on . Be patient. Shedding will always happen when a drug is working.
Hello. I am a female, started oral minoxidil about 50 days ago. First 3 wks I took .625mg, then increased to 1.25mg per day. I am having excessive hair shedding for the last 4 weeks. Is this normal, and how long should it last?
This will get better. It takes 6-12 weeks.
hello doc, i considered to use 1.25-2.5 mg of OM daily and im 19 years old i used the topical minoxidil but at first i have to use it on a huge are on my scalp and with only topical minoxidil its not enough i also have a lot of itchiness i take 1mg of finasteride daily with no sides would you recommend me too use OM ?

Sir You are also having the Hairfall Problem?
Sir after use of minoxidil for 9 months i have seen my scalp is more flexible ,it was very tight when I was balding. My question is ,is it the dermis or the skin that gets thick with dht?
I will be doing this video next.
Hi sir ur video is very informational please tell me if person has good cardiovascular health then can that person use 2.5 mg oral minoxidil for life time
Oral minoxidil has to be prescribed by a doctor and it is best to get your BP checked beforehand. Hence, I would advise you to consult a doctor who can check your health and decide whether you can take it or not.
Thanks for clearing most of the doubts sir. Very informative video.
I have one question sir, do we shed if switching to oral minoxidil 2.5 mg from 5% topical solution? I heard this from some one in reddit that his hair started shedding after 10 days of switching to oral minoxidil? Is this common?
Any hair loss medication that is effective will first shed hair.
Thank you, darling Doctor.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much Sir, A very useful information for the guys who are looking for an effective solution for their hair thining and reciding
So nice of you
Very nice video
Thanks
Hi doctor, can you clarify where in india can we obtain oral minoxidil? Most pharmacies I have tried don’t stock it. If anyone else knows, please let me know. I am currently in Delhi.
Many thanks
Any pharmacy that is a big pharmacy will have it under the name Lonitab,
Very Well Structured Video sir. I Appreciate your efforts in educating people.
Please clarify my doubt. Have you ever tried making minoxidil tablet as a powder and using it sublingually in your protocol? if Yes, did it gave good results. Thanks in advance.
Never did.
Thanks for informative videos .I m taking oral minoxidil 5 mg daily with oral finastride . Can I apply any oil or serum on scalp and which oil or serum is best for hairs ?
You're on the right medication advised intelligently by your treating doctor. You need not use anything else. Serums have questionable utility.
Are you getting results with 5mg OM?
would you suggest oral min for the months after a transplant and afterwards switch back to topicl min ?
No point doing that since body takes time to adjust to different formulations
Hello Doctor, my hair is so greasy that I have to wash it everyday. I tried topical min for about a month (twice daily) and stopped as it was making my hair greasy. So my doctor now prescribed me : 1) Minogain (1.25 mg a day) 2) Dutacet 0.5mg a day.
But I am also concerned about the potential side effects and wondering if I can take topical min every night before going to sleep. So that I can wash my hair the next morning. Do you think this will work? Thank you
Yes that is the best way to apply Minoxidil at night and wash off in the morning
Hello Doctor. Just curious to why you may or may not use minoxidil or fermasteride? I’ve noticed your hairline has receded (which gives off a look of intellect) but have you not attempted to use these products you prescribe? Are you comfortable with the natural progression of hair loss? I have debated whether I’d like to get treatment to hold onto my hair or just allow nature to take its course. Thank you.
Thanks for this question but I have answered this a 100 times over! I have had one failed FUT procedure in 2007 and a second procedure using FUE . Now due to the first proceudre I have run out of grafts. I do use Oral Finasteride 0.5 mg on alternate days but not Minoxidil. At 58 I do not mind some recession and thinning at all.
What is the exact name of the LASER treatment , used for combating facial aging ?
This is just a hair transplant clinic
Please make video on sebrohic dermatis vs psoriasis vs hair trnaplant which help more number

Is there any natural dht blocker which we can use instead of fine stride?
Please watch my video on Saw Palmetto.
Have been on 1.25 mg oral minoxidil daily for 1 week. It works very fast as I noticed less hair loss now. However, since I started 1 week ago, I have been feeling tired and low energy. Will this persist or it’s temporary ?! I don’t want to stop it but I’m concerned about this fatigue. Any advice ?
You could seek a doctor's advice locally

@@hairtransplantinindia thank you
Hi doc, great video, I've a question: After a full year using 5mg OM(2.5mg Pm and 2.5mg at Pm) along with Dutasteride, can I stop using OM and just maintenance my hair with Dutasteride because the main reason of using Dutasteride(or Finasteride) is not justr grow the hair but keep it, am I correct?? Thank you.
You are right but Finasteride should be the first line of defence.
As far as i know, hair grown by minoxidil will fall out if you stop taking it. Fin/dut would work on DHT affected hairs only. So be mindful of that.
Hi Sir, I had a question, I am not sure if this will reach you given the video was published 2 years ago. I want to know if the efficacy of minoxidil decreases with time? For eg: I read somewhere that a person who was a great responder to minoxidil lost all the hair gained from the medication 2.5 years later. Do you have any patients to whom you prescribed this medication and is still going strong in 2+ years time frame?
That is not true. Minoxidil will never stop progression of baldness. The course of baldness will continue with Minoxidil. The function of Minoxidil is to keep your hair thick. To stop progression is the function of Finasteride.
Doctor if someone is changing to oral minoxidil from topical minoxidil because of the clinical evidence of its superiority....will he have any problem and lose ground because of the scalp getting adjusted to topical minoxidil?
Yes you should expect shedding. However there is nothing to fear the hair will come back.
Doc: Im 65 years of age. Too old for me to see any significant hair growth w oral finasteride? I have decent hair sides and back but top and crown receding.
If the hair loss is due to age, Finasteride will not benefit a lot.
I dr sir I have problem of dandruff and itchiness i m using morr f 10 percent minoxidil from 1 year with finastaride i want to switch to oral how to switch and which oral minoxidil will replace morr f 10 percent...
Yes Oral Minoxidil will be in place of topical Minoxidil. Get your doctor to do a detailed cardiovascular examination before he starts you on OM.
Dr. Bhatti, do you know if 5% Topical Foam Minoxidil is effective if used every other day (Once every 48 hours)??? Thank you in Advance if you are able to answer.
Yes to some extent but as much as once in 24 hours.
Very nice
Thanks
Hey doctor,my hair just started thinning and hairline start reciding,i started orlal minoxidil 2.5 mg day and finastride 2 mg a week .
I have no genetics hairloss.
I have diagnose with Gilbert syndrome
Being on Topical Minoxodil for 2 years and oral Fenasteride for 4 months, if I am planning to start taking Oral Minoxodil by 1.25 mg a day, how long after taking this dose should I increase the dosage? In other words, what are the signs that tell me that I need to up the dosage after being on low dose?
This is not what you can do without a doctor's assessment.
With a healthy heart and taking 1.25mg a day . How long should you wait to work out after taking the pill?
You should take it at night just in case you get low BP while working out.
You lost me on that last statement "once stabilized you stop finasteride"? Don't you need to continue with the finasteride always as the "anchor" (the DHT blocker) , even when taking the oral minoxidil?
What I meant by that was that if you have been taking finasteride for a long duration ie 1 year or longer, you can stop taking it for 15 days after every 3 months to assess whether you have hair fall or not. If there is no excessive shedding the dose can gradually be tapered and eventually stopped. No shedding would mean that your baldness has stabilized. This is especially in those above the age of 35 years as the baldness gene gets suppressed.
Both minoxidil and finsteride have a different mechanism of action. Oral minoxidil is an antihypertensive drug that causes vasodilation and hence increses blood supply to the scalp improving hair growth. Whereas oral finasteride is a DHT-blocker and it blocks the action of the hormone responsible for baldness on the hair follicles. Hence, oral minoxidil is not a substitute of oral finasteride because if your baldness has not stabilized, after seeing the initial effects of oral minoxidil, hair will eventually begin to thin out over a period of time.
Also, please do not start oral minoxidil without a doctr's prescription.
Darling Buds Clinic hello
I started oral finasteride two 9 weeks ago( two months and a week). In the two first weeks, I felt like my Shedding has decreased since I was already shedding a lot of hair before I started the treatment. But considering from the third week, my hair my hair was Shedding aggressively and I can say More than ever. According to your knowledge, when will this Shedding be halted by the drug? And when am I supposed to see the efficacy of the drug in matter of regrowth or at least in hair improvement?
Also in 11:38 doctor says: he puts the patient on Oral Minoxidil for 3 months to stabilize the hair loss then moves to topical application! What if the patient sheds from all over the scalp ( due to telogen effluvium which can be chronic or due to another reason), the logic says if you move to topical, the other Areas will be affected since topical is generally applied on the top. Enlighten me please regarding this point too.
Thanks a lot and sorry for being long
Shedding is a good sign after starting a newer medication for hair loss or after changing brands since different brands have different polymorphic forms of the same compound. Shedding stabilises by 4 weeks in most cases.
As far as telogen effluvium is concerned, it needs to be treated a little radically and hence the recommendation. Oral form will affect hair on top and back of head unlike topical form which is traditionally applied to the areas that are prone to thinning i.e. top of the head.
Thanks for watching.
@@hairtransplantinindia thanks for the reply. But in my case, almost 2 months of continuous aggressive shedding! Is that normal? I read some articles where it's mentioned it will stabilize after 3 months as an average until 4 th month as a maximum! What's your opinion on that?
@@benchabanehocine7809 Shedding should start to stabilise in 6-8 weeks.
Hello Sir, I am Karthik my age is 29
Thank you for your video
I was taking 1mg finasteride 2 years back,I stopped after taking it for 3.5 months. Once again I started taking it after 1 year but I didn't find it effective. So from the past year I have been taking dutasteride 0.5mg 2 tablets a week. Since I was a bit irregular in taking these tablets. So I never able judge efficacy of these tablets correctly on me. Now can I take 2.5 mg oral minoxidil (daily) along with 0.5mg (weekly once)?!. All doctors are not aware of oral medication of minoxidil , many doctors don't do experiments , they go with only fda approved medicines.
Please message us on 8872238888 for consultation.
Hi dr, i have seen many people drinking topical minoxidil liquid applying few drops in glass water and drink it , is it safe ; i dont see any harmful ingredients and they are in small doses, please explain me
Not useful either.
Very bad idea.
In your 50th point you said something about baldness genes turning off, how is that possible? I'm no doctor but as soon as anybody stops finastride their loss progresses so that means that baldness gene is still active. Also wouldn't stopping finastride be a bad idea since dht will harm the follicles again?
Thanks for watching.

Twice daily application on scalp at now in bussy days is impossible. so 15 days ago i went to the doctor she prescribed me oral minoxidil 2.5 mg night time(after dinner) and 1mg finasteride at day time(after lunch). now the problem is after taking om 2.5 mg and finasteride 1mg for 12 days, my hair fell out . is this normal? is this hair fall or shedding ? If it is shedding then how long will this shedding continue? PLEASE reply doctor i will be always grateful to you .thank u

Hello Doctor. I'm from Indonesia. I want to ask a question, please be willing to answer in full.
1. Are all brands of oral minoxidil made from the same minoxidil? Or does each minoxidil brand have a different quality? 2. The use of topical minoxidil in men is as much as 5%, if converted to units of mg, how many mg is that? So that it can be equated with its use 2 times a day.
3. What is the working half-life of taking minoxidil 2.5 mg? And if I'm currently taking 2.5 mg of minoxidil orally, does it need to be taken 2 times a day morning and night?
4. For how long should I take 2.5 mg of
minoxidil and then increase it to 5 mg?
Please if you answer in full. Thank you doctor 🙏
Thanks for your patience.

@@hairtransplantinindia Wow. I am so impressed that you have answered my question in your special content on youtube. To be honest, I still have a lot of questions regarding the mysteries of DHT, baldness and minoxidil.
1. Is there a link between extreme itching in the head and DHT accumulation? Because I experienced that even though I didn't have dandruff at all.
2. Is dermaroler on the scalp useful for forming lost/shrinking hair follicles?
3. Can I replace my 1 mg finasteride consumption with 0.5 mg dutasteride every day? Because during the 5 months of using finasteride 1 mg, I didn't feel any change in my hair loss. Why did it happen? Is my DHT really too high that it can't be treated with just 1 mg of finasteride? And are there any major side effects if I take dutasteride 0.5 mg every day?
4. Please give an accurate answer, is it true that frequent masturbation in men can cause hair loss which leads to baldness? Or is it just a myth? If so, how does masturbation relate to baldness?
I will be very grateful and happy if the doctor is willing to answer questions that I have been struggling with all this time. Please explain, thank you doctor 🙏

I live in EU where i could not get minoxidil in solid form tablet. I'm using topical solution Regaine drops oraly, slowly bilding dose to 5mg in 2-3 months. I would prefer tablets but it is not possible for me. What is your thoughts about the difference in efficiency between solid and liqud form of the drug. Do you think ingesting with or without food matters. What about the time of the day?
As mentioned in this video, the best time is at night so if a person is prone to low BP, the effect is not felt. Take the medication after dinner. I do not have any experience with ingseted topical Minoxidil. That is not how the drug is to be consumed.
Hey are you getting results?
Minoxidil ingested in topical solution form definitely works on every hair on the body. Longer eyelashes, eyebrows, and tiny little hairs are growing everywhere. Now I'm ingesting 10mg around noon and 10 mg at midnight. Swelling in the feet is happening from time to time but it is not really a problem. I get some heart palpitations here and there. This drug is not for hypochondriacs or people with weak hearts. I'm over 50 and I started this treatment much too late.

Dr have you had patients be on oral minoxidil safely for many years/a lifetime?
No. It has had public acceptance only in the last 3 years.
How can we know when to stop oral finastride aka bald gene turned off?
Every 3 months the break will keep increasing beyond 2 weeks if there is no hair fall. If the break is 60 days time to stop it
Sir I have an expired morr f minoxidil bottle it expired 6 months ago can i use it??? Will it damage my follicle of hair if I apply it plz ans
Yes you can use it if it was stored in shade in cool temperature.
I’ve been using topical minoxidil from last 9-10 month didn’t get visible results..now my dermatologist prescribed oral minoxil 2.5 mg every day.. is it safe and what result can i expect. Pls reply sir
This has been covered in the video. If your cardiovascular status is stable your doctor may wish to replace the treatment which he has.
according to youre knowledge, does the oral minoxidil is more likely to cause unwanted facial hair than the topical version? the hypertrichosis is not reversible after stopping i think
Yes there are reports that it may not be reversible. Oral form being more potent will cause greater hypertrichosisi.
@@hairtransplantinindia ok so oral version will cause more hypertrichosis on face? i get a lot of forehead and uper cheek unwanted hair from the topical version ( dripping on the pillow i guess)
Hello Sir Very nicely explained. I got oily and itch and painful scalp on applying topical minoxidil. 1.Should I use the aqua form of topical minoxidil or oral 2.5 ?

Oral will be good but get a doctor to evaluate your CVS

I'm using fin for almost 2 months now .. primary shedding phace completed befor 3 weeks .. nd very less hairfall now max 3-6 hairs .. before any medication i used to have 30-40 hairs per day or more !! I also started to use minoxidil for over a month now but noticed acne nd blisters on my temple nd hair also appears oily... I'm planning to start on 1.25 oral minoxidil along with 1 mg Finn on alternative days ..
The acne might have been caused due to repititive itching which led to infection. You could consider switching over to the foam formulation of minoxidil which has lower or no alcohol content. This could eradicate your skin problems.
Talking about oral minoxidil, please remember to obtain a prescription from a doctor after he has checked your blood pressure and taken proper medical history.
10mg a day and getting great results along with lorsartan lower blood pressure too. 124 over 74.
What body parts that do not contain Sulfotransferase?
Sorry would not know. I deal only with scalp and beard.
Doctor, i am using 2.5 mg oral minoxidil for 3 days now and I feel dizzy the whole day and i can’t focus.. do you know if the side effects will go away?
Did you get a doctor's opinion on this?
Can I take oral minoxidil and topical Finasteride. Cause I am 18. Or both Topical for hairline.
Only topical Minoxidil will work
Topical minoxidil caused a major rash on top of my head of forehead. Had to see a dermatologist to get if taken care of. Switched to oral M and no issues. Too early to tell if its making a diff (only on 2 months)
4 months is the period needed to see any results with all hair loss medications
I have not found such low doses of minoxidil, such as 0.25 etc..can u help me as to where I can find them.
You will need to get it from a compounding pharmacy.
Can I take a break from oral minoxidil as taken in oral finasteride....like 15 days every 3 months?
Yes you can
I have been on topical minoxidil 5% for the past two years using it religiously both morning and evening and have seen really no results.
I am looking to start on oral minoxidil and oral dutasteride. What I have heard is that the oral Destri is better than the oral finasteride and has less sexual side effects is that true? Can you please provide me your thoughts and recommendations?
Dutasteride blocks all DHT and hence cannot have lesser side effects. There is less talk about this on the internet since it is not FDA approved for hair loss. Hence competitors cannot sully it's image like they do for Finasteride. It's the murky pharmacology industry to blame.
Hlo doctor
Can I use oral minoxidil 2.5 and solutions for hair loss ....
You will need to see a doctor for evaluaion. Everyone cannot, and it is not an OTC drug.
