in canada you need a prescription for 5% and even then you have to go to a compounding pharmacy. Even if you do manage to get to one it'll cost you about 3 times what it would in the states. I buy an 8 month supply every time I go down there. I suppose that you could order off of the net though if youre too far.
its so weird how canada and the US have different regulations for hairloss treatments. In the Us Nizoral 2% is only allowed by prescription, yet minoxidil is over the counter. As if some teenagers are going to abuse nizoral 2% and viceversa for minoxidil in Canada. So strange.
i know that you can buy Minoxidil at Wal-mart and at Cosco. Cosco sells a double pack of no name brand for cheap. Walmart sells Rogain and a no name brand. I dont know if all Cosco's sell minoxidil but its worth a checking out. Good luck man.
