I have been using 2% Minoxidil (All we can buy in Canada) for 4 months now with no noticeable results or slow down of hair loss. Would you recommend buying 5% minoxidil?

I have been using 5% for years, but I am a lot older than you. I am not sure what the answer is. You may ask the doctor that question. I think it is good you are using it early on in this battle. Even with little noticeable results, who knows you may have lost more hair at an even faster rate without it. I have always thought that the hair loss meds are long term tools against balding. Crash diets, crash exercise programs, and crash use of hair loss meds really don't work. So people that try the meds and give up after 3-6 months are missing the point. I was unware that 5% Minoxidil is not available in Canada, I wonder why that is?
