No, mostly water, I just eyeball it. Maybe 70/30%.

I have been thinking about buying some cet aswell, but I have thought about taking it oraly since I`m on minoxidil, and I dont want to put to much on my scalp. Is this a dumb idea? Meaning that I take it oraly and not make it into something that I can put on my scalp? Hopefully it will work oraly as well.... any thoughts?
i can tell you 95 % of the temple hair came from the pgd2 blocker the rest 5% can be hair that was allready there.. but i really remember.. in that area there was no sign of hair and it was completely bald. Now even if im not so close to the mirror i can see the temple hairs. I will take a picture of the same area next month after the picture so you all can see better next time. But my left temple isnt responding well as right the temple which is the side taken picture of.
I recently bought Liquid Centrizine, Its called Alerid its made by Cipla in India.
Its very cheap and would cost around 5$ for a year (1ml a day)
Here are the ingredients mentioned:
Cetrizine Hydrochloride IP ...5mg
Flavored syrup base...
Do you think the syrup base will be an issue while using it?
Also what regimen do you recommend along with nizoral?
Wow if all those shorter hairs in the temporal area are with cet, this is something to get excited about. I've been doing it for about a month now and I'm seeing lots of vellus getting longer and a few darker ones coming out. I shed quite a bit but now I think I'm on the tail end of it. I started with 70 mg cet dissolved in 2 oz. of apple cider vinegar and that seemed to absorb fine but I got sick of smelling like vinegar. Now I'm using 140 cet in 2oz. of water/vodka combo. I'm not gonna jump for joy just yet but this could be IT fellas.
no evidence so far suggests oral usage will work...all the results so far has been topical...when you take something orally, it has to go through the liver and whole schwack of other crap before it actually gets to the cellular level..
I take it orally, and it seems to be working almost as well as others who apply topically. I posted about it in the other topic. I will likely start doing topical also however. I would highly recommend going the topical route, as many many more people have posted success with it whereas very few post success with oral.
If I buy 60 tablets and dissolve this in 600ml of distilled water, all the junk (that I do not need) will fall to the bottom of the can, and the water will contain the cet, right?
Hey everyone, so now I am thinking about jumping in on this. Reading through this it seems like most people are using different vehicles. Some just water, some distilled water, some are using a water vodka mixture, and others are using water propylene glycol and ethanol. I will not be using minoxidil so is consensus that that water ethanol propylene glycol will lead to the best absorption??
Another question is where can you buy ethanol? Can I just use high proof liquor?? I think the highest proof I can buy at Canadian liquor stores is 151 rum...
And where can I buy propylene glycol, I searched it up on amazon and found some that were food grade, does this matter? Do any phyiscal stores stock it? I prefer doing my shopping in person...
Sorry I am a really big noob at making my own vehicles.... Thanks for the info guys!
you guys are doing a great job!!!!! Thank you very much for all you have done here!!!
Maybe the thread wil lead something great ,surprise the entire world!
If one day you guys come up with a cure for the MPH, you should be awarded Nobel Prizes!!!!
We hope that day come sooner!!! Good luck with you !!!!
I found Dr. Cotsarelis’s files on the internet, but without email address to contact him
How are you guys applying the topical? few drops all around the scalp then massaging it?
Hi all,
Another lurker joining the cetirizine bandwagon. Norwood 1.5, been on minoxidil foam 10 months and responding well. Been on the fence about starting finasteride, but then this all started! Anyway, like alot of people on this thread i'm trying to figure out the best way to deliver this to the scalp while minimizing systemic absorbtion. I found the following study on topical delivery methods for cetirizine and their rates of absorption in rabbits. The study mentions liposomal encapsulation as a seemingly superior delivery method. Some quick googling and I found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cBp879mfgI as a method of making liposomal encapsulated vitamin C, but I have no ideas if it's accomplished what it claims (I'm biased against of any 'holistic' source of information). Anybody have any info on this process? Seems to me the plan would be to dissolve the cetirizine water, then mix with lecithin in an ultrasonic cleaner. Anybody see any problems with this approach?
an update (I will give one every week or two):
I am taking CET mixed with Ethanlod and pG with RU (at 6pm)
and RU (150mg) + minoxidil at 9PM
everyday for the last 5 days now ... I have been on RU (150mg) + minoxidil at 9PM before so now I am just adding CET (and increasing RU dose, sorry gotta do that).
I started OC and I stopped. OC does something for sure, but decided to switch to topical CET due to longer relief from itch (although the intensity of the relief I would say was greater under OC).
So far CET is helping reduce itch very well. It was time for my shedding to stop so I cannot attribute it to CET... I will only speak of results if I see significant thickening or new unexpected growth.
