community Oral minoxidl - Is this a medication that's generally safe to take for life? Like what I understand oral fin is? Also do studies show that in general or in a significant amount of more cases that results with oral minox + oral fin > oral fin in terms of long-term use(talkin 20+ years).
Oral minoxidil combined with finasteride can improve hair density, but long-term safety is uncertain due to potential side effects like heart and kidney issues. Users report mixed experiences, with some experiencing side effects and others finding it effective for hair maintenance.
