Oral minoxiidl at 1mg, is this effective?

My derm prescribed me 1mg oral minoxidil as they wanted to evaluate the effects of the drug for a month before they increase the dose. I am wondering if 1mg is effective enough and if anyone has seen results when taking 1mg? I currently use topical minoxidil 2 times a day.

Since 60% of men will not respond to topical minoxidil, the oral works on 100% of men. The 1mg dose is a reasonable starting dose. Your dermatologist knows what she is doing.
