Loniten (Oral Minoxidil) and Hair Growth?

I have a question about Loniten (oral Minoxidil). This isn’t considering using it as a replacement for topical Rogaine, but does Loniten show ANY major scalp hair growth? I know it’s an unstable blood pressure medication, but if someone who was suffering from hair loss were to take it, would it show benefits? What dosage would you think it would take to show benefits? I’m always curious about knowledge ;)

I have no first hand experience with patients taking Loniten to really base an opinion on the amount of hair growth seen from it. I don’t even know the proper dose that would produce hair growth side effects, and I don’t believe that it is equal across all people, ages, and sexes.

I realize you understand this, but just as a warning to those that DO want to take a minoxidil pill to possibly regrow hair — the risks for taking this medication orally to treat hair loss would make it something I’d not recommend trying. If you’re going to use minoxidil to treat your hair loss, topical is the way to go.
