Minoxidil was first developed as a stage 4 blood pressure medication. The reason it eventually was used to treat hair loss was due to one of its side effects. It caused a condition called black hairy tongue. And yes, the condition is exactly as it sounds.
So, before popping those pills I would consult a doctor.

RE:
Using Minoxidil Pills for Hair Loss?
Rogaine is just minoxidil. If I were to take minoxidil in pill form for hair loss, would it work, and how much? I've heard that people using it for high blood presure, grow lots of hair all over.

Minoxidil (Rogaine) Minoxidil was the first drug approved by the FDA for the treatment of male pattern baldness. For many years, minoxidil, in pill form (brand name Loniten), was widely used to treat high blood pressure. Just like finasteride, researchers discovered a very interesting side effect of the drug. People taking the medication were growing hair in unexpected places, such as on their cheeks and the back of their hands. Some people grew hair on their foreheads. Some enterprising researchers had the notion that applying minoxidil topically, directly on the head, might grow hair on balding areas. It did, to varying degrees depending on the extent of the hair loss, but at the time it was revolutionary. While minoxidil has been clinically proven to slow the progression of hair loss and regrow some hair, most experts see it as a relatively marginally effective drug in the fight against hair loss. Since minoxidil has no effect on the hormonal process of hair loss, its positive effects are at best temporary and usually yield somewhat disappointing results. The American Hair Loss Association still recommends the drug for those who have not responded favorably to finasteride treatment or for those who would like to add another product to their regimen. The AHLA does not recommend minoxidil as the first line of attack for men suffering with male pattern baldness, but does recognize it as an effective treatment for a small percentage of its users.

Hello
I sincerely would recommend you to go to a doctor or a dermatologist. Take care that it's all genetic and from nature, but you must always have self-esteem then you will succeed in everything. That's my best advise I can give you.
Not much remedies for the hairline. Propecia (finasteride) or rogaine(minoxidil) might help for hairline in very, very few cases. the best is a HT(hair transplant) to reconstruct your hairline.
There are several forms of hair loss. If it is male pattern baldness (Androgenetic alopecia) then the hair loss cannot be fully cured in most cases, but just frozen for some time with the treatments availiable on market today.
1) Hair transplant (FUE technology) creates really natural hairline, no scars, the best way to go if you have enough donor hair and money of course.
2. Propecia (Finasteride) and Minoxidil are the only ones approved by FDA and proven to work in most men so far.
Generic Propecia (finasteride) is also ok. I use it with same results, and unfortunately same side efefcts(a bit dry feeling in the scalp) as brand propecia. Have tried lots of herbal crap before it and laser combs, so far the only thing that prevents my hairloss, not much regrowth, but has stopped my hairloss completely.
I buy from this pharmacy for the last 2 years - http://www.1rx.biz/generic_propecia.html . It is under $1 per pill for 1mg propecia.also see
http://www.propecia.com
http://www.rogaine.com
But before you consider to start propecia you must really study about the side effects. It can mess your hormones real bad if you are not lucky, so you must choose, hair or these side effects. Quite a big perecent have these side effects, more than Merck - the company that holds
Propecia trademark is saying. see the link for side effects
