Oral Minoxidil: Does it make your other hair really bushy?

I started taking oral minoxidil in January after I had a FUE Hair Transplant, and everything is going quite well so far. However, the doctor put me on Oral Minoxidil for the first year after the procedure, and it makes my eyebrows and facial hair way more stiff and unattractive. Kinda thinking about quitting it, as I am on Dutasteride and getting good growth from the transplanted hairs, so I'm likely out of the woods in terms of worrying about a good result.

Anybody else feeling like a bit of a lumberjack after taking this chit? I'm into minimal grooming, and not looking to start spending 2 hours per week grooming like I'm some kind of Pajeeet.

Yeah, you just take a pill in the morning. I tried the foam chit like 8 years ago and decided I wasn't going to ever do it again. Works pretty good as a first measure, except for this other hair coming in all over the place.

It's systemic so it will affect every hair on your body to a degree. The alternative is quit oral and use topical once a day. Dut has been known to thin out beard and bodyhair though, so it will counter act that

Thanks brah. I hate swallowing pills but that's a 10000x better option than that liquid chit.

I gave it all a crack a long time ago but gave threw in the towel quick after some sides and reading up on it more. Thinking of having another crack, one last hurrah before I shave.
