The brand 'rogaine' any better than other brands? ebay?

[sammo]

Hi two questions...

is there a cosmetic or irritation difference between rogaine the brand of minoxidil 5% and other brands? ie kirkland? from peoples experiences?

And also, rogaine is really cheap on ebay and am just wondering is there some catch with this stuff? some things are even like 10 dollars for whole packs...? seems abit too good to be true?

Im basically starting minoxidil and wanna use the brand rogaine after a terrible time on revivogen.

thanks

From what i know, the original, and the generics are near the same thing, both have 5% minoxidil in, but maybe the PPG content could be slightly different.

so nobodys tried different versions and noticed differences? or bought off ebay? i like the foam smell / feeling so wanna stick with the brand rogaine, even if it costs abit more.

altho theres cheap stuff on ebay....

thanks

I've tried Kirkland and name brand Rogaine also tried the Foam. I can tell you kirkland is okay but Rogaine works better it dries MUCH faster than kirkland and it simply works better. You can easily get a 6 month supply of Rogaine NAME brand from Ebay, or about $65 on amazon! I would buy it from amazon as I know they are reputable, in fact with shipping I paid $70 for a 6 month supply! I switched back to Liquid as I gave foam 1.5 years and it did NOTHING but eat some of my hairline and my crown. If you are strapped for cash Kirkland is fine, but if you do have the cash name brand rogaine is better. You will hear many tell you "Generic is the same as name brand" people always say this with medication also, generics are "equivalent" which is 100 % not the case. Let me put it this way if you've only used Generic then they are great, if you have used name brand and switch to Generic it is a night and day difference ( think klonopin,xanax,pain killers) stuff that you can see within minutes, not high blood pressure meds or other meds that cannot be monitored! Once again if you have only used Generic that's all you know so nothing to compare it to so it's fine! Please remember this is MY OWN OPINION and my OWN personal experience, everyone will say different things I'm just giving you my OWN experience with name Brand and Generic.

All the best,
Rich
