I’ve been using Minoxidil 5% for past three months upon prescription however this FDA approved drug is also available without prescription. I personally see a noticeable change before and after. It’s for sure helping regrow my hairs on the upper forhead as that is where the loss and thinning was occuring. You should take necessary precautions while and after applying, I am sure your doc went over it and other thing you need to know is as you might started noticing by now if you’ve been using it for atleast a month or so that the newly grown hairs will be thin as they burst out of follicle and will grow thick overtime. Whats your daily dosage, my doc suggested 1ml in the morning and 1 in the evening.

Rogaine is a powerful medication that is able to help curb hair loss for a significant amount of individuals; however, it seems that many users become frustrated with using the medication and give it up all too soon. This almost always leaves their hair in worse shape than before they had started taking the drug.
Statistics show that one in three males and one in four females will experience at least moderate hair regrowth with Rogaine, so why do so many reviewers give it such a bad rap? There are many users who give out during the first two months of use because of fear of shedding, lack of dedication, or whatever the case may be, and this is not even enough time to test the waters with Rogaine. To be successful with Rogaine, you need to have a regular application schedule, ignore the initial shedding, and stay committed. If you can follow these rules, then your chances for hair regrowth success will be multiplied.
If you do not have a regular application schedule when you are using Rogaine, it will be much easier to fall out of the habit. One missed application will soon become two, and then you will eventually quit using it altogether. You have to apply the medicine twice a day, so try to do it as soon as you wake up and about four hours before you go to sleep. You want to be very prompt and adamant about applying the Rogaine for the first few weeks of treatment so that you can build a good habit. A good habit will keep you in the habit and lead you to success.
About three weeks in to using Rogaine, users experience increased shedding which eventually stops after a few weeks. This stage scares users the most and oftentimes causes them to give up treatment in order to salvage their hair. This is a bad move, because the hair they lost will not grow back. The hair that you lose was going to fall out anyway, and the Rogaine ejects that hair so that better hair can grow in. Shedding at the beginning of Rogaine use is a good thing, so do your best to ignore it and move on. It may look bad for the time being, but it will look better eventually.
All in all, you have to stay committed if you want continual hair growth. You will have to stay committed to using the Rogaine or else the hair you regrew will fall out. This is the most important thing to remember when using Minoxidil, for if you are not committed, you will lose everything you've worked hard for. A few missed applications here and there aren't going to hurt you, but stopping use for weeks at a time could create problems. If you can't keep the commitment, then you might as well save yourself the money and time.
Rogaine has performed miracles for those who have felt hopeless an at times disappointed those who had hope to begin with, yet the fact remains that the statistics say anyone's chances for success are pretty high. It is true that Rogaine just does not work for some, but the medication takes at least six months to see good results. If you can hold on for that long, then you might see the hair growth results that you imagine. Success with anything whether it be a hobby or sport takes effort, and the case is no different with Rogaine. If you want to be successful with, keep your applications regular, don't get freaked out by the "dread shed," and keep a good commitment.

Minoxidil comes in two forms - oral and topical.

Oral is pill form, and usually is used to treat high blood pressure.

Topical is cream (or other applied) form, and is usually used to treat hair thinning.

I have been taking it orally to treat my blood pressure, and it works great, but as a side effect, I've noticed thickening of my hair, and my bald spot - not huge, but there - disappearing. So it definitely works. I'm not as worried about my hair, but there is a definite change that I can only attribute to the Minoxidil.

I doubt your doctor would let you take that dosage orally just for your hair, but it apparently does do something for hair loss and/or thinning.
