Increasing Minoxidil Strength By Adding Minoxidil Powder Into The Solution

[simtastic]

I've purchased generic 5% minoxidil solution. I have to increase its strength to 10%. Can i increase the strength by mixing minoxidil powder equivalent to 5ml in the solution?

 

[Afro_Vacancy]

Yes, I've seen people on this forum go up to 30%. I'm on 15% myself.

Some solvents may not tolerate arbitrarily high minoxidil.

I know that propylene glycol can reach at least 15% or higher since that's what I use.

So i can just put minoxidil powder into the bottle and wait till it dissolves?
Or i have heat the solution or add something else?

Just pour a tiny bit in and see what happens, if it works up the dose.

But I'm not sure what the maximum solution is in whatever solvent you're using.

@David_MPN i have a bottle of kirkland,
Can i up it by 5%?

 

[Afro_Vacancy]

What is Kirkland dissolved in?

What is Kirkland dissolved in?

Propylene glycol, alchol & water

You should be able to increase the dose then, though I'm not sure by how much.

@David_MPN thanks man!

Have you noticed a difference between using 5% and 15% for efficacy and sides?

I've only been using it for a few weeks.

I'll be checking my blood pressure on Friday. That's the most possible side on minoxidil as far as I know.

Also, I use 15% once a day. That's the biggest advantage.

How is it advantageous to use minoxidil only 1x per day instead of 2x?

 

[transam]

Higher concentration 1x/day beats a lower concentration 2x/day. I wouldn't use such a high concentration twice a day.

Well I would....for optimal gainz ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

No, minoxidil has a 22-hour half-life, so you don't need to use it every 12 hours if your dose is high.

Twice-a-day is just more of a chore. You don't always have time.

Let me ask you this;
do you think using high % minoxidil 2x/day will increase results, or would you plateau at 1x/day because the % is high?

I'm not sure where the saturation point of minoxidil is.

I know that 5% twice a day works well.
So 15% once a day necessarily does at least as well, even if it might just be equivalent.

You still on 15% once a day? Any conclusions?

Where do you buy minoxidil? Powder?

Pharmacy, rogaine.

Pharmacy, rogaine.

They give 15procent?

I use five.

When I used 15 I ordered from minoxidil max, but they don't deliver to the USA.
