Hi All,
I am planning to start the Propecia/Minoxidil Regime. I believe that Minox is avialable in 2%, 5%, 10%, 12.5% & 15% strengths. Obviously, I wish to hasten hair growth and would like to know which strength is best to use. I am wondering why there is such a range of strengths and what issues there may be between them. Is it just cost vs effectiveness where the strongest is the best but most expensive or are there any issues like tolerance, side effects etc? Which is the optimum strength (if one)? If none, then why do not people just use the strongest one for fastest and best results? Regards, Balding Indian!

The 5% works better than the 2%. Higher concentrations can lead to more irritation wihtout a statistically significant increase in benefit.
