I take minox 1.25 now (increased from 0.625 two months ago, started in July of last year) and while I do have a lot of frizz, I feel like some of my worst thinning areas are not improving. I have 2 questions: 1) Would targetting those areas only with topical treatment for a short period help? 2) would I keep the hair when I went back to just oral minoxidil? I don't want to use the topical for long, my scalp is very sensitive to itching and burning. Thanks.
Anyone use minox topical to spot treat in combination with oral?

Maybe try topical spiro and see if that is less irritating. My scalp seemed to be able to tolerate topicsl spironolactone better.
Spiro doesn't seem to be available here. I also take finasteride, not sure it's hard any regrowing effect... maybe it has slowed the loss. Afraid to stop and find out. I don't shed heavily, maybe that's why, but the loss was quite advanced when I started and Fina did not change that so I started taking minox as well.
Where are uou located? There is minoxidilmax that ships to lots of different countries.
I'm in Canada. Is that topical minoxidil? That's definitely available here, but I'm looking for answers to my questions before I try it.
No that's the name of thr company they ship to Canada and have a topical spiro product.
Does Spiro work the same as minoxidil, you lose the hair when you stop taking it?
I don't fully know but my impression is that it can happen but it doesn't happen tonas many ppl as it does with minoxidil. But see what other ppl Sat or the donovan site.
Great questions! I’m also curious.
