Accepted Answer

: I think you should try Aquagaine. These are its ingredients: aqua (water), minoxidil 5%, proprietary dht blockers and transdermal enhancers, vitamin complex, retinol, caffeine, phosphatidylcholine. Good luck.

Question 2

i have been using minoxidil for past 2-3 months and its causing irritation to my scalp, i want to know if there is any alcohol free minoxidil solution?

Accepted Answer

Minoxidil foam.: Good for you to be starting treatment early. If minoxidil works for you, it's important to be starting sooner because the longer you wait the harder it is to gain the lost hair back. The liquid forms can cause scalp itching and irritation, so try foam which has been shown to be less irritating. Most drug stores have generic foam versions. Good luck!

Question 3

how to get minoxid 5% without alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Minoxidil: Topical Minoxidil (rogaine) has alcohol in it. The tablet form does not. Consult your family physician for prescription.

Question 4

does minoxidil really  work?

Accepted Answer

Minoxidil: If hair growth is going to occur with the use of minoxidil, it usually occurs after the medicine has been used for several months and lasts only as long as the medicine continues to be used. Hair loss will begin again within a few months after Minoxidil treatment is stopped.

Question 5

is minoxidil safe at age of 62?

Accepted Answer

Age and Minoxidil: Minoxidil (m) is only used when other treatments have not worked well or cannot be taken. You should also take other medications to avoid the side effects of minoxidil. These medications include a diuretic to prevent the body from holding on to too much water and salt and a heart medication (such as a beta blocker including propranolol) to prevent a fast pulse. M has no age limit to its use.

Question 6

is rogaine (minoxidil) effective?

Accepted Answer

Usually: Rogaine (minoxidil) or topical Minoxidil is a scientifically proven treatment for hereditary hair loss.  It is effective in slowing down or halting the hair loss in most patients with androgeneic or hereditary hair loss.  That is it's main benefit.  In a small percentage of users of rogaine (minoxidil) there is an appreciable amount of regrowth of hair usually in the first year of use.

Question 7

what is the best brand of minoxidil?

Accepted Answer

Better Minox?: Minoxidil promotes improved hair growth from weak follicles. Twice a day, everyday until further notice, is the recommended dosage. Over-the-counter minox (rogaine) is weak &amp; messy. Formula 82M compounded minoxidil goes on dry &amp; is much more powerful. Track your results with a doc who performs HairCheck. It takes a year or more to see results so stick with it and follow-up every 90 days to track.

Question 8

Question 9

is kirkland minoxidil not safe for women?

Accepted Answer

Minoxidil for Women: While safe, over-the-counter women's topical Minoxidil is often tried with disappointing results because the traditional rogaine (minoxidil) or generic version can be messy, irritating to the skin and weak in terms of hair growth. Many patients find improved usability with compounded prescription formula 82m Minoxidil because it is stronger on the follicle and is easier to use (dries fast, less greasy, etc.).

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Hair loss: If you stop using topical Minoxidil you will lose the hair that it caused you to grow while you were using it. You will not lose any more hair than that.
