Minoxidil Internally
2.5 mg daily: too much. Caused heart side effects, wrinkled forearms, extra fat below the ears, under the arms, under the chin, and puffy eyelids, but produced lots of hair. 1.67 mg daily: heart felt okay, with wrinkled forearms and fat, and good hair. 1.25 mg daily: wrinkles and fat started going away, while hair was slightly better than external use alone.
