Using minoxidil greater than 5%?

[JJacobs152]

Has anybody had positive experiences doing this? I can't find the thread but remember somebody using double-digit % minox and they said it did more harm to their hair than anything else. I believe there is an 8% minoxidil which is available, so contemplating on trying that.

Have had great results with 5%, but want to see if I up the dosage, what type of gains I'll see. Any input is greatly appreciated it.

I use 15% temples and 5% whole scalp works treat.

The problem is that concentrations higher than 5% are hard to come by. You may have a steady dealer, but if his shop closes down, then you're stuck going back to 5%. This reduction in concentration may cause hair loss to resume.

Uk belgravia center prescribe 12.5%... I think it has to be prescribed.
