Topical Minoxidil vs. Oral Minoxidil: What is Better?

1
Topical Minoxidil vs. Oral Minoxidil What is
Better?
2

• Do you know the first minoxidil medication that
  the FDA approved to treat hair loss was in the
  oral form?
•  
• The topical minoxidil medication came from the
  oral version, which was a common prescription for
  hypertension.

3

• The Journal of the American Academy of
  Dermatology recently published a 24-week study
  done on 52 women suffering from androgenetic
  alopecia. They were divided into two groups.
•  
• One group of women were prescribed 1 mg of oral
  minoxidil. This is equivalent to 5 per cent of
  topical minoxidil.
•  
• The other group of women were prescribed topical
  minoxidil.

4

• The results showed that women who took oral
  minoxidil showed a higher hair density than the
  topical one.

• So, should you switch to the oral minoxidil
  treatment?

• The major concern of taking oral minoxidil is the
  side effects. Not everybody can tolerate the
  dosage. Not much study is done on the oral side
  effects of this medication. Also, the comparison
  study of oral and topical minoxidil is also
  limited so far.
•  
• People who took 1 mg, 2.5 mg, or 5 mg minoxidil
  doses showed some or the other side effects, with
  the highest doses producing adverse reactions.
•  
• Besides, everybody reacts differently to
  medications.

The question is

•  
• Is it worth taking such a health risk when the
  topical minoxidil is equally effective in growing
  hair?

8

• Topical minoxidil is safer than oral minoxidil.
  Doctors have established this fact. The
  medication has also proved to be quite effective
  in topical form for both genders.
•  
• There is one more reason to use topical
  minoxidil.

9

• The topical version of minoxidil is used for
  decades to treat hair loss successfully. On the
  other hand, the oral version of minoxidil is not
  used much. The oral version was used to treat
  hypertension, not hair loss.

10

• When minoxidils wonderful property of growing
  hair was discovered, hair product manufacturers
  grabbed the opportunity and used minoxidil as one
  of the chief ingredients in their hair loss
  formulations. This was the topical version, which
  became widely accepted and showed no side effect.

11

• However, people with certain medical conditions
  are advised to not use topical minoxidil either.
  Pregnant and breastfeeding ladies should also not
  use minoxidil treatment for hair loss.

12

• People with overall good health show a good
  response to topical minoxidil treatment with zero
  side effects. You may experience a bit of
  irritation on the scalp when you apply minoxidil.
  This is only for a few seconds.

13

• Some people have reported headache after using
  minoxidil topically. Such reports are rare and,
  if this happens to you, stop using minoxidil
  treatment.
•  
• In this case, you must not use the oral version
  either. If you cannot tolerate the topical
  version, which is safer than the oral one,
  chances are high that you may get an adverse
  reaction using the oral version.

14

• Conclusion
• Topical minoxidil is safer to use than oral
  minoxidil. And if you are looking for a reliable
  name in minoxidil-infused hair regrowth
  treatment, choose Keranique.
