I get to know Kirkland minoxidil 5% is a much more cheaper alternative to the Rogaine.
I never use it, but want to try it out.
I get to know that Minoxidil is only effective for short term, has anyone use it for over 2 years?
I read in other forum that many has hair regrow at early stage but loss their hair gradually after one or two year.

Also, how u guys apply? I read in review that it need an hour to dry after applying minoxidil. It is quite tedious?

How you guys buy Kirkland minoxidil?
Online via ebay from oversea seller is much more cheaper. Anyone try to buy before?

plase share, thanks.

Kirkland is a good alternative to Rogaine and many people use them cuz they are cheaper. There are other alternatives like Regaine that you can get here locally. As long as it's minoxidil 5%, it's generally the same stuff they use.

boonies
u bought form oversea or form local?

yes,i use kirkland minoxidil now,it is the same as rogaine just way cheaper.....

any results from u all after taking this?

Overseas selling much more cheaper. Bought my Krikland calcium & magnesium from canada. Anyway. Krikland products are mostly made in Canada. so you can get it cheaper there.

RM 140 for 3 mths in Lelong

ya someone here lyn offer RM59.90 for one, he just imported in, fresh.

will it give side effects like lower sex drive like propecia?

i heard that once you stop using it, your hair will drop and become default - bald

it will not give you nasty side effects like propecia. the only drawback for this minox is that it will itch like mad. it really depends on the person, some people are more allergic/sensitive to it while some others do not.

i used ReGro Minox 5%, lots of hair growth in only 5 weeks, until i gatal tangan go reduce the dosage and its back to square one. so if you want to use minox, make sure you are consistent with the dosage, follow the instructions. 2 dosage per day 5-6 sprays.

consistency + following instructions = hair growth. don gatal like me go reduce dosage.

what you mean by back to square one ?? 5weeks = alot hair after reduce = no hair ?? wtf like dat the minox is a scam ...

ok. it's scam. no use at all

Added on March 10, 2012, 10:34 pmThere's always a negative and positive side on every product. You see. Even an f**king apple would give you a negative effects. So there's always a hope for those who really desperate for this sick (MPB) . We have no choice to made and we have to use it. I mean dude , would you just go shave your freaking hair bald and went for the office to work?? Or bringing a thinning hair like an old man for work? Girls love guys with hair . That's a fact. So don't keep giving those negative comment " it's a scam, omg it wont wrong at all, OMG it will make your head bald after 2 years usage." WTF man. Do you even knows how the MPB sufferers feels? Some of them even count the spending of minoxidil cost per year. Saying that it will cause you a boom. RM140 for 3 months. It's reasonable. So there's always a hope. Some times miracle does exist. (Speak for all the MPB sufferers) Don't give up for just a simple comment on google or facebook.

couldn't agree more yangthai. i'm one MPB sufferers and I feel exactly the way you describe it. i'm only 28 but this hair loss problem had already severe. and i'm using kirkland minoxidil 5% for almost 1 month now and I notice lots, lots of baby hair growing already. therefore it's definitely not a scam.

This is where I order my drugs. They are based in Hongkong,
but source generics from India.

Be aware that customs may seize your order at the airport, but one
or two bottles for personal use should be alright.

They have plain minoxidil, or combined with finasteride (Propecia), kopexil (Aminexil)
and tretinoin.


Shipping is a flat five pounds sterling.


Search for "minoxidil".

http://www.unitedpharmacies-uk.com



Cheapest is "Shalltop-A" with minoxidil, tretinoin and azelaic acid.

Note that the azelaic and tretinoin creams are for acne.

Azelaic acid has been used at typically 20 per cent for acne and rosacea.

Let's put this question to the rest.

Disclaimer first : as the title at the start of this forum says - all health advice here is not to be taken as medical advice, so though I am a current practicing medical officer, I am to be just considered as voicing my own "opinion".

Minoxidil is the only proven scientific method for hair growth. It only continues growing as long as you apply it. Once you stop, it will shed slowly.

Treat it as a recurring expense. It's like hypertensive, diabetic, gout, oral contraceptives, hormone replacement tablets - as soon as you stop them, their effects will wane and disappear.

It's like turning off the aircond in your room/car. Pretty soon it is gonna get hot again.
