Should be nothing left to swallow. Just pinch it below your tongue and keep your tongue depressed down as best you can until no longer feel the pill. When first starting, have a look in the mirror after 2-3 minutes to see what's left.

I think we're talking about the same thing. You should be able to cut it if you need to reduce dosage and take it sublingually and it will dissolve. I do 1/4 10mg pill and it dissolves in 2-3 minutes. If yours has a coating it's going to be more difficult and all I can think of is to crush it...

If you absolutely can't get the pill, is it a capsule that you can take apart which has powder inside? If so, and you have no other options you can try to take the powder sublingually but it's going to be a pain taking the capsule apart each time and getting the powder out. I have taken...

Yes, my BP dropped a few points on sublingual without swallowing. My baseline systolic BP was consistently in the low 130's prior to OM and now it is consistently in the mid 120's (I measure at home a few times a week). Can't be sure 100% it is due to OM, but I haven't changed anything...

I started OM mid August with liquid min - 2 drops AM (sublingual & swallow) & 3 drops PM (sublingual & spit) and that came out to be about 1.5mg per drop. Within a few weeks I started growing a few hairs around the eyebrows. Mid September switched to loniten (something is just wrong with...

I'm skeptical in regards to taking straight liquid or loniten sublingually, but I also don't think that Dr. Bhoyrul is just blowing smoke either. I take it you're still taking oral minoxidil. Are you having any results or hypertrichosis/other sides other than edema? Dosage?

I almost immediately grew a few hairs above each eyebrow, but that's been it.

I think the Australia Doctor came up with some sort of dissolvable strip. I just googled that IG address and found a video that was circulating around here regarding sublingual minoxidil. It's Dr. Bevin Bhoyrul from Sinclair Dermatology in Aus, and is probably the same clinic that had the dissolvable...

Yeah, I was beginning to question the sublingual effectiveness which was why I started swallowing the 2nd 2.5mg dose. I'm hoping to find the sweet spot between sublingual & ingestion to maximize benefits and minimize sides. I'm going to be experimenting for a while.

I've been taking 5mg loniten sublingual for a few months - 2.5mg am & pm. Some hairs here and there but nothing substantial. Three weeks ago decided to swallow 2.5 pm dose. A week after that I was not feeling well and took 1 Aleve (200 mg naproxen - NSAID) and Alka Seltzer (250 mg...

I hadn't seen your post - but yep, almost the same experience. I first noticed at 21 ('91) and was sure I was going to lose it all by 25. Propecia was not cheap as you know and my GP wouldn't prescribe it, so I went to a hair transplant Doctor who was like the only one prescribing it at the time...

Been on it since it was available - '97/98 1mg/ed and since about 2005 I've been on 1.25mg/ed (1/4 proscar). I started minoxidil about 10 years ago, and overall I held pretty much steady all those years with just an ever so slight, gradual thinning in the hairline but the crown was solid. Probably...

The regrowth on that last pic is unreal. Do you still microneedle your entire scalp?

Do you microneedle at 1.5mm and do you needle over existing semi-dense hair? I started about a month ago @ 1.5mm (Dr. Pen 12pin/max rpm) and am attacking the hair line about an inch or so back right where it starts to thin. There is still a decent amount of hair there and my concern is that...

First, hang in there! Like you I've been on the big 3 (but for much longer) and am about 10 days into RU58841 (50mg/day) because over the last year I've been shedding pretty bad too but haven't noticed a difference either way since I've been on RU and I'm going to stick to it for 6 months+...
