I feel like I'm doomed. That's my story.

A safe dose for you would be 0.025% which is 0.25mg of a 1mg tab topically.
Given my aggressive alopecia, can this low dose be effective? After six months of the 0.3% formulation, I saw no results. Maybe I can give the 0.25% formulation a try. Now I am off from everything, I want to see if my ED gets better, but maybe I can start the oral minoxidil meanwhile.
I crush a 0.25mg finasteride tab in 2ml minoxidil and apply and use a 0.25mg tablet orally also.
So you use minoxidil both orally and topically?

1mL of 5% = 50mg

1mL of 2.5% = 25mg
0.5mL of 2.5% = 12.5mg
0.25mL of 2.5% = 6.25mg
0.1mL of 2.5% = 2.5mg - This is the approximate dose you want to take.
Ye its not hard to understand and im retarded at math. I get like 46 drops from 1ml of 5% minoxidil. That equals 0,92mg so close to 1mg. If i had 50 drops exact it would be 1mg per drop.

Yes. But u need at least 3 to 5mg of oral minoxidil daily because of how aggressive your loss is.

So, at least 3 drops? Which is about 3mg, right? What about doing 2 mg? Isn't it going to be enough?

Btw I am planning to stop finasteride for about 1 month, this should not be a problem right? Then I may give a try to the 0.25% formulation if the ED gets better.

Yes. Im also taking a break. I took 1mg oral finasteride a day so gonna restart in a week and use only 0.25mg oral and topical M.W.F. I suggest you use it x3 weekly very low dose and use oral min at least 3mg to 5mg. But not more. If you get sides just use less.

Dayum I get 48 drops out of 1ml 5% min. Thats close enough. Almost 1mg per drop.

Anyone here actually had success combining microneedling with topical finasteride or dutasteride? Wondering if that’s worth prioritizing before jumping to oral meds or surgery

I don't get it.
1ml of 5% minoxidil equals 1000mg*5%=50mg minoxidil. If you get 46 drops from 1ml, isn't that 50mg/46=1.087mg per drop? Not 0.92mg right?
