"Oral minoxidil was a lifesaver. I'm female, postmenopausal, and started taking 2.5 mg tablets about 2.5 years ago. While a vast improvement over topical minoxidil, which left my hair greasy and like I hadn't shampooed it in weeks, I saw an improvement after about a month of using the oral minoxidil. Way less shedding, then almost no shedding, but not a lot of hair growth. I asked my doctor to increase my dosage to 5 mg a day, and then my hair growth took off! I don't understand why anyone is still using topical minoxidil nowadays. It is really ineffective for the overwhelming majority of people. After 3 years of oral minoxidil, I'm now shedding again and my hair is thinning, but I don't know if this is just because I'm in a temporary telogen phase or whether the tablets are no longer working as effectively as they have because my body has become inured. Would love to know other people's long-term experience with oral minoxidil."
