desesperately looking for a non pg/ non alcoholic minoxidil ( without parfume/ smell)

[michel sapin]

I tried all the vehicle ( trichosol/ aloplus/ glycerin/ foam,etc... ) But i need a minoxidil without alcohol/ Pg such as trichosol ( great texture), but without the horrible smell.
Or knowing the exact dosage of oral minoxidil which could replace the topical version
I don't want to take 5 mg which seems to be too much of a dosage, i juste need to know the dosage which mimick topical twice daily; maye 1.25mg , ùaybe 2 mg?

Are you sure that alcohol irritates your skin? I’m just assuming that’s why you are looking for no alcohol or pg. For the longest time I thought that alcohol and pg irritated my scalp. I found out that I actually had raw skin that the alcohol was getting into and causing burning. Otherwise alcohol works fine. I can’t stand pg and the ph of the solution I am applying has to be on the acidic side instead of alkaline.

Where are you based, I use getfreshman stuff smells great (may not be ideal for oral), its free from alcohol and PG.

Why not drink your minoxidil as is? It's takes a tiny amount daily to see significant results. You might want to start low and titrate upwards because it works so well that many people do shed. I haven't shed on oral minoxidil or topical or duta or finasteride, only spironolactone and that was because spironolactone was working "too well". In a certain sense that is what we want since all the hair is likely to regrow quickly in synchronized anagen cycles of increasing length:
