A Question for Bryan.

Im using 5% minoxidil once daily with great results for six months,But i also get bad water retention in my face.I have noticed that when i use 2% i do not get this side effect (or its less obvious) I was thinking i would suck it up and endure this side effect for another six months and stick with 5% untill then.If i stick with 5% for another 6 months to get maximum regrowth and then switch to 2% to maintain what i have,Would this work? someone here said 2% would maintain regrowth made by 5%.Is this true? or another person just throwing in his 2 cents?

Did you see that reply I made in another thread about the nuances of 2% minoxidil versus 5% minoxidil? There's nothing unique about either one of them, they both turn into the same thing: a saturated solution of minoxidil in propylene glycol. The only thing that's different is the quantity of that saturated solution, with the 5% producing more of it than the 2%.

To answer your question directly, I doubt that a relatively small quantity of minoxidil (smaller than amounts that would be sufficient to saturate the skin) would be able to sustain hair growth that was generated by a larger (again, non-saturating) amount. In that specific sense, I think minoxidil is dose-dependent.
