Hi,

Can anyone advise where to get these from in the UK. I've only used finestride but took a few years out and want to give them both a try again.

Thank you

Dr Ball and our specialist nurse trichologist, Marta Teixeira, prescribe oral minoxidil. Patients that are not able to attend a face to face consultation are offered a video consultation or can complete an online medical assessment. If oral minoxidil is considered an appropriate option, Dr Ball is able to prescribe, review progress and adjust treatment plans accordingly.

I hope this helps!

Hi, may i ask, can you take minoxidil when taking sildenafil?

A simple answer is that it would be wise to avoid taking oral minoxidil if you are already taking sildenafil. Both can theoretically lower blood pressure. It would certainly deserve a comprehensive medical assessment, an understanding of the risks and careful monitoring.

Thanks for that advice, I did read somewhere, it said when you do use sildenafil, don’t use minoxidil on the same day, but I’ll have to check with drs on that one.

I've considered oral minox but the potential heart issues are scary as heck, I'm amazed how easy it can be to get this stuff.

Hi, what evidence have you heard about this issue please.
There's a reason it was dropped for about 50 years. edit..i try to post a link but it states i have reached my limit it was from last years Dermatology Online Journal.

Relatively safe for most but lets remember this isnt FDA approved, if it was safe as topical then no-one would use topical.

Just google it there are tonnes of reports.

I'm not against people using it as long as its from a doctor and they are monitored, its crazy that some are taking it and just because they havent had sides they assume everything is ok, how would they know?
