Alright, so, lets say I can't get a perscription for oral minx, but I am sick and tired of how topical minx foam makes my hair look in the morning(curly hair, it doens't make it look thin, it just dries it up), I know people are drinking liquid minx, so could I measure out 0.1ml of foam, melt it down, and drink it? Would it do the same thing?

I know it sounds stupid, but at this point its a nightmare geting this sh*t into my scalp, with curly hair

Don't drink liquid minoxidil. I know it sounds like a generic answer, but don't. Your probably right now freaking out about your hair and about to make a dumb series of event decisions. Almost like the procrastinator who waits...waits....waits....them boom tries to do everything at once or something radical ( this can happen in relationships, steroids in the gym etc ).

If you want better absorb rates, then micro needle with 0.5-0.75mm once a week. I didn't say 1-1.5 because that can actually cause scare damage on thinner scalps.

I am not going to troll you for your question, nor am I a transgender person. I am simply giving you rationale opinion.

Have you ever tried finasteride? If you're already going down the rabbit hole of minoxidil there are compound places that mix both finasteride and minoxidil. I say rabbit hole of minoxidil as it's only 55% effective in people who use it and max effect is 48 weeks. I think it's a last of the big 3 in priority. However, needless to say you're on it. Which is cool. If you ever decide to incorporate finasteride, then I'd wait to see results of minoxidil for 6 months. You want to know what is working and what is causing sides. You can't do that with a kitchen sink approach.

already on finasteride, have been for past 3-4 years, I noticed pretty fast thinning in 1 spot on my hair line, like almost a straight line upwards, not sure if it was from stress, or what but it happend so fast, like less than 2 months, trying to figure out if it's progression or something went haywire,

- finasteride + min restored basicaly all my hair

Do you micro pen? I'd say try to find a micro pen between 0.5-.75mm. That will have it absorb better, but will go systemic a tad. So watch for hypotension symptoms. I wouldn't drink minoxidil though. If you do, you could grow hair in places you'd not want it and experience the hypotensive effects. Keep it to the scalp.

No I don't, but I managed to get a perscription for oral minx, going to try that out. I wonder if anyone has good success with adding dutasteride once a week to their finasteride regime

I've been drinking liquid kirkland minoxidil for the last 2.5 months, positive results so far. I get this from ebay
I take it you are aware they make counterfeit kirkland minoxidil in china and have done for years. not sure I would want to be ingesting anything like that off Ebay, but if you know its from a legit seller than I guess its ok.

I had no idea there was counterfeit kirkland minoxidil floating around... I imagine the costs to making legit minoxidil would be low, what's the point of using a fake product?

The manufacturing rationale in China is, if you make a product, why stick your own brand label on a product, when you can just print off a label of a known brand and sell your product for more.
