    Oral Minoxidil Volumetric Dosing And Storage

    Just wanted to get absolutely accurate dosing. So far it's working well. I take a big dose (10mg) every few weeks just to see if it's still working since I no longer feel sides on 5mg.

    Minoxidil Dark Circles Under Eye Side Effect

    Tret's effect under your eyes will depend on your genetics, regimen, dose of tret, dose of minoxidil, etc. It may work, or it may not. It worked for me. If concerned, you can always start at 0.01% once a week mixed with a buffer, and work your way up to 0.025%, then 0.05% and finally 0.1% every...

    16m Is My Hairline Receding?maturing?paranoid.

    100% not losing hair. Trust me on this, I was actually losing hair at your age. By 20, I was diagnosed with male pattern baldness by a hair doctor who said I had the hairline of a mature mid-30 year old. If you are concerned, just keep taking the same pics every 6 months. You'll know in a...

    Oral Minoxidil Volumetric Dosing And Storage

    Update for anyone interested. The math to me works out. I took a 10mg dose last night and definitely felt the side effects; so I am assuming it is good. As for storage and stability, I found the following study: https://sci-hub.tw/10.2146/ajhp160457. Basically, it should be good for about 4...

    Minoxidil Dark Circles Under Eye Side Effect

    I've used Vitamin C for about a month now, with some positive results. However, in the past week, I began using 4X the amount (4 pumps instead of one). I use it just out of the shower (and after shaving), when my face is a bit moist and boy does it sting. I've since noticed that my skin got...

    Sudden Increase In Libido And Erectile Strength When Starting Supplements

    If you take ZMA, your libido will go up. Supps can usually make your libido go up. This is especially the case when you're deficient in something. Try eating a couple of tins of oysters and not get a raging hard boner if you were deficient in zinc.

    Oral Minoxidil Volumetric Dosing And Storage

    Would love if someone can help me with this. I mixed 4ml of Kirkland 5% Rogaine into 200ml of vodka. Am I correct in assuming that I made a solution where each ml is 1mg of oral minoxidil? Also, can anyone answer the following: 1) Is this solution homogenous? Should I be shaking hard before...

    Anyone Who Has Made The Jump From 2.5mg To 5mg Oral Minoxidil?

    I just switched to 5mg at night before bed. By the morning, my heart rate is normal during the day, and I don't suffer from daily fatigue :p. I think 5mg single dose is better anyway, especially since that's what they used in the studies.

    Minoxidil Dark Circles Under Eye Side Effect

    Honestly, I've been putting the 0.1% directly under my eyes (and even on the tops of my eyelids), with no problem, and I've only been using tretinoin for three weeks now. However, I am an outlier as my skin has always been very healthy. Also, I will admit that I had initial irritation, but...

    Minoxidil Dark Circles Under Eye Side Effect

    1) It's only thing that actually reverses aging. 2) Get it prescribed from your doctor. You can start with 0.025%, then 0.05%, until eventually you use a pea sized amount of 0.1% every night (max dose) 3) In Canada, I can get the generic version for like $20/month supply for 0.025% and...

    Minoxidil Dark Circles Under Eye Side Effect

    Tretinoin, dead serious. Tret is the only reason I started minoxidil again. Taking 5mg oral min, with 0.1% tret; face looks young as ever with zero wrinkles and no dark circles.

    Anyone Who Has Made The Jump From 2.5mg To 5mg Oral Minoxidil?

    I just started taking 2.5mg oral minoxidil twice a day (5mg total). Is taking a single 5mg dose better? I know that a 5mg dose increased minoxidil levels in 5X more than a 2.5 dose as per https://donovanmedical.com/hair-blog/oral-minoxidil-top-10. As for sides, definitely getting more light...

    Any Experience With Very Low Dose Oral Minoxidil (less Than 5 Mg)

    Hello all. Have been on and off user of the big three since 2007ish. Was going to completely get out of the game after using 15% minoxidil on my head and face (after derma rolling) led to crazy heart problems, a super aged face, and extreme dark puffy eyes. I since started using 0.1%...

    Chances of gyno on finasteride

    Serious man, just watch your chest as you take it. If you are seriously concerned, keep a low body fat and develop your chest muscles. I really doubt you will get it. It would be way more common in the forums if this were a thing.
