new,

 

 

I think that is actually perfectly fine to do. I actually recommend this to my patients occasionally. Most of the time, because of hair styles, the regular minoxidil is very greasy and does not work out as well for the 9-5. The foam is a much nicer product during the daylight hours. The regular is a little cheaper and is just fine to apply in the evening. I think it is important to try to continue treatment twice a day. If this is how you want to do it, you should continue it.

As a side note, some physicians feel that the foam version may not penetrate to the scalp as effectively as the foam. So in that respect, by using the regular you are also making sure you have at least one very good treatment per day.

Foam doesn't penetrate as well as liquid/regular? I assume that's what you meant

[gillenator]

Yes that's probably what he meant because with the liquid, you can apply it directly to the scalp and penetrate the scalp tissue better than the foam product IMHO.

Try lipogaine.

I have the lipogaine minox not sure if I should add it with the branded one or use it on its own.

The branded one is working well but I have already brought the lipogaine so will have to use it.
