Hi.

Just count how many drops that 1 mL contains.

With the dropper I got from Kirkland minoxidil I counted the following.

1 mL (50 mg) = 24 drops

Therefore, each drop contains approximately 2 mg of minoxidil.


Now something that might help you.

Currently I'm taking 3 drops (6 mg) orally every morning and also apply 1 mL topically. If I do this at night, the next morning I wake up with puffy eyes, but If I do it in the morning, I get no puffy eyes.

Possible explanation is that when we're laying down, the blood flow to our head/scalp is already more than enough, we only need to increase it when we are standing up. Gravity...


Another tip.

Minoxidil will increase your heart rate, it's like you're overclocking your heart. That's another reason why I take it when I'm starting the day, not at the end.

Moreover, If I take minoxidil orally and don't exercise in that day I'll get headaches (probably too much blood flow in the head)... a good 30 minutes walk is enough to have your leg muscles using that extra blood flow and avoid headaches, but I try to walk at least 1 hour every day.

You definitely don't want a fast heart rate when you're trying to sleep. Always use minoxidil in the morning!

Don't do it like that.Buy 1ml syringe and empty capsules.Measure 0.1ml of minoxidil and put it inside of capsule,close it and take it.

That's so much work. Just get a micro syringe do get the exact dose every time...

Too much work?It literally takes 30 seconds for me to do it.The problem is that I couldn't find any smaller size in my local pharmacies.I guess that ordering them would be a better idea but its more expensive...

I think that buying a straight metric dropper, without a curve at the bottome is the best approach. The problem is that all of the ones that I found weren't calibrated low enough. Anyway, there are four lines on a metric dropper typically and the lowest marking at .25ml equals 12.5 mg daily. So if you eyeball half of that you are at roughly 6 mg loniten and that is a proper recommended dosage for males. Some guys are using 15mg to 20 mg although generally not advised. The sides for folks who go above 5 mg of loniten are that they experience more hair growth everywhere and some people who don't use laser hair removal don't like the facial plucking and greater need to shave one's legs or triangle. The body hair also seems much more difficult to depilate or wax off. There could be significant blood pressure effects or edema effects above 15 mg not found in the topical version so keep an eye on those.
