Do men respond to oral minoxidil better than topical minoxidil?

I started taking oral minox about 7 weeks ago and I can’t believe how well I’ve responded compared with topical minoxidil.

This is common as only 40% of men will respond to topical minoxidil while 95% or better respond to the oral minoxidil, see here: https://baldingblog.com/sulfotransferases-and-minoxidil/
