Exactly the same ingredients as Regaine....go ahead and save some cash i would say.
Give the medication a year to evaluate its effectiveness.

Thanks for the reply dabuski, but I want to know is it working. Does it contains minoxidil at all, cause there are a lot of scams on the market. Thanks in advance.

I've been using kirkland minoxidil for over 8 months now and it has been very effective. Just make sure you buy from a trusted seller

Dutasteride belongs to a class of drugs called 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, which block the action of the 5-alpha-reductase enzymes that convert testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Finasteride also belongs to this group. Dutasteride inhibits both isoforms of 5-alpha reductase, while finasteride inhibits only one. But a clinical study done by GlaxoSmithKline, the EPICS trial, did not find dutasteride to be more effective than finasteride in treating BPH.

Your post is weird.We know about dutasteride/finasteride. The question was - Is anyone using Kirkland Minoxidil 5%?

I'm using the 5% Kirland brand as rx'ed from my doc (the 5% requires a prescription in canada). Works just fine. Its just a generic version of a brand name.

All Minoxidil is the same. Different company bought the rights to put their names in front of the label. Yes, this is the same product as Rogain. It contained 5% Minoxidil. I am interested why would you want to order it online when you just can go to Costco and buy it from there. Save your self some hassle from getting rip off, shipping fee, etc.

Things are different here in the UK. We have nothing similar to Costco.

Out of interest to Costco sell the foam as many places don't seemto ? - only a matter of time i suppose.
