Regular Member Balding Indian! Posted November 21, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted November 21, 2007 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dr. Ricardo Mejia Posted November 22, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted November 22, 2007 The 5% works better than the 2%. Higher concentrations can lead to more irritation wihtout a statistically significant increase in benefit.
