So its a worthy gamble I suppose all in all.

8 hours orally, 22 topically to the skin I believe. Though half lives are funny old things, since dosing at the time you're body has eliminated half the drug doesn't make perfect sense. Either way, rogaine recommend 1-2 times per day, and people get results on both.

Cool man, yeah it's not too bad at all is it. Try not to apply it to a wet scalp, you get too much absorption systemically (in your entire system, via blood), you could start getting some hairy ass ears or something.

You got the whole setup right there, your hair will be bullet proof. Your best bet is letting it fade out of your mind and run in the background, enjoy the peace of mind.

Like I say, 2% ketoconazole is better, more active ingredient, and it's standard in Europe, but you might only be able to get 1% without prescription. I just ordered mine from any old pharmacy, and looks like this: http://www.expresschemist.co.uk/pics...zoral-60ml.jpg
Perhaps somewhere from USA could chime in on that one bud. Google shows a few different nizoral packagings, as long as their active ingredient is ketoconazole you should be fine.
