UK Customer, Regaine Minoxidil vs Non-brand Monoxidil.

[jamiejay337]

So on Amazon I've noticed regular 5% Minoxidil is far cheaper than the Regaine version, I was wondering if you guys have any insight on if the non-branded ones wouldn't be as effective...

 

Regaine: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Regaine-Men-Extra-Strength-60ml/dp/B005O9D88S/ref=sr_1_2?s=drugstore&ie=UTF8&qid=1337115262&sr=1-2

 

 

Normal: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Spectral-UHP-Purity-Minoxidil-Solution-Regrowth/dp/B003E6HMY4/ref=sr_1_1?s=drugstore&ie=UTF8&qid=1337115907&sr=1-1

Also I've been hearing with Propecia providing you take a very low dose you still block hairloss and don't suffer side-effects, is this true?

jamiejay337,

 

5% minoxidil is all the same. When I was using liquid minox I always used Kirkland brand rather than the much more expensive Rogaine. I switched to using Rogaine Foam and now that a generic version is available I will be using that once my Rogaine is gone.

 

When I was taking finasteride, I reduced my dosage to 1.25mg three times per week in order to reduce side effects. It worked well for me.
