Using too much minoxidil?

[macquas2]

Hi, im using rogaine extra strength (5%) but i find i need around 10 sprays instead of the recommended 5-6 to cover my head properly. I tried using the recommended amount but it just doesnt feel as if im covering everywhere adequately so i decided to use more. Is this dangerous, or am i ok to do this.
Thanks

try using the dropper you'll waste a lot less. If you don't have one you could go to your local drugstore and get one.

Probably not dangerous. I wouldn't worry about it, a lot of people seem to use more to get better coverage of the scalp. minoxidil is also thought to spread a little beneath the skin. So 100% full coverage isn't neccasary.

Hope this helps,

This may sound funny but go to a pet supply store....They always have them there.
Petsmart has them online so they should be in their stores too.
