The dosage isn't too high. 60 tabs in 60ml of water is just fine. If anything, I'm thinking of maybe upping the dosage slightly to see if results get even better. As for an alcohol-based vehicle, judging from responses on here, you're more likely to see results if you use water and not alcohol.
I dunno about the PGE2 side of things, I am but a humble lab rat on this one...maybe one of the other guys will explain it. All I'm really bothered with is seeing results without sides, and so far so good.
Anti-histamine and corticosteroids have all long been known to increase hair growth( check on google for concussions of rogaine with betamethasone), this is already known and is def. not something new
The dangers to which Franky 69 is referring in regards to anti-histamines is most likely a problem when taken orally as that has always been the primary method of delivery. Although I'm not a expert, I really doubt that topical application could present these problems. In fact, I believe the problem is even having an effective enough delivery of cetirizine that even provides enough absorption to the scalp.
That's the million dollar question.. do we get any systemic absorption via topical route. I am in the camp that I do feel a bit fuzzy/spacey with the 1mg/1ml dosage. Others report the same. It could all be psychosomatic though. I've cut my mix to 5-7mg per 25ml. Seems to have eliminated the sides but maybe it was all in my head. WTF knows.
The german user minox86 that showed the most success reported in Mid January that he had no overall cosmetic improvement as of yet but posted pictures clearly showing good regrowth. He is at 6 months.
The last picture is from October 2012 and the other three are mid January. He is seeing the same type of darking at the
base of the small hairs that I'm seeing. You will also notice several double hairs in the #3 picture. I think pic #1 shows
much stronger hairs than the October pic.
I'm still hopeful that we are on to something but it is a SLOW process.
