community I switched from topical 5% or oral 2.5mg minoxidil… it’s been roughly 4-5 months. Is this normal???
The user switched from topical 5% minoxidil to oral 2.5mg minoxidil for convenience while traveling and is experiencing prolonged shedding, which is causing concern. Community members suggest that shedding can last longer than expected, and some recommend increasing the oral dosage or combining it with topical application for better results.
