A member asked:
Dr asked me to take only 1ml minoxidil 5% at one sitting. i happened to take more, say 1.5ml. will it have any effect? no visible effects till now.

Probably nothing but: Probably you will not see much difference. It's topical , so system effects are minimal , but on prolonged use above recomanded dosage may have some side effects. Besides using higher dosage do not expect faster results , but waste of your money.
