    Wrong, the guy on YouTube is using dut, 100mg of 1.5ml RU, it all depends how you body tolerates it. I had great success alone on genhairs 0.25mg finesteride spray with bearable sides. 6 months later I started shedding so I jumped on 1mg propecia no sides now and hairs growing back. But before the genhair finesteride spray I took 1mg propecia, I could not get an erection over a week etc. listen to what spex states start lower dose until your body gets used to something as it can be a shock to the body on a high dose straight away .

I've read (either here on elsewhere) that its a good idea to give yourself a high dosage of RU in the beginning for a kickstart, somewhere around 100mg and then once regrowth appears you can bring it down to 50mg.
      Thanks for the reply hellouser; I very much appreciate it.

      Are you using a syringe to apply the RU? A dropper?

      I've got the premixed solution; so mixing isn't a problem.

      Cheers.

        I'm using a dropper. I make a fresh 1ml mix *every night* before I go to bed.

        I bought and cleaned out a small bottle and use it to hold RU and the solution I mix. Heres the exact bottle I'm using:



        I'm typically eyeballing the dropper when I take in 0.7ml, because the dropper only has marking for 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.0ml. So, I usually take in slightly less than 0.75ml of Isopropyl and slightly more than 0.25ml of PG to get the 70/30% ratio. RU goes into the little bottle first, then the isopropyl, mix it up thoroughly and then add PG, mix it up again and then apply. When I do apply, I typically let out small drops in the desired areas wherever im balding and rub it in.

        A lot of times I apply about 10-15 minutes after washing my hair though and sometimes I even exfoliate the skin with some creams on my scalp to get better penetration. I wait 10-15 minutes to make sure my hair and scalp are completely dry (though I also use a blow dryer to speed up the process anyway).

        I can't say its working yet.. as I said my dosage has been upped significantly but my RU batch is a year old so its efficacy is probably crap by now. I'm going to be buying 10 grams from Ontario Chemicals on tuesday so hopefully a new batch of RU will be much better.

        I suppose you could use a syringe, but those are typically quite big and I would rather use a dropper in order to use up as much of it as possible rather than having some leftover in the syringe. Ultimately, it doesnt matter much so as long as your covering the areas wherever needed with enough RU dosage and a proper alcohol/PG mix.

        Sprays I wouldnt trust, I've got messy hair typically... think brad pitt from fight club, i dont know if it'd penetrate and get to the scalp.

            hi jazz im not sure if your in the uk but the norton clinic sells it online you can buy a 4 or 5% with the progest added i think the 5% is £105 for 6 months supply with free post in uk.
            I am thinking of getting back on it as when i used it i applied more than 1ml on areas where thinning was worse like the crown and frontal region.
            Buy the way i have no ties with norton clinic but there is another source in uk alan robinson chemist i can find his tele number if you want to pm me but i think the norton is not a bad price.
            I forgot to add that the proges is in a dose that does not add feminising affects in men anyway it never turned me into a female im glad to say hahaha or a lady boy hahaha www.nortonclinic.com

              Forget about the guy on youtube, don't both meds reduce DHT ? Then why take both ? Most of the guys who take the big 3 have kinda success with them, but many guys refuse to take fin since it plays with your whole body hormones and system and that what makes them intrested in topical solution as RU in order to fight DHT.
              But IMHO, if you are reducing your DHT successfuly with fin without any sides, consider yourself lucky and don't try to abuse it by using other DHT blockers because that might create sides you never had before and make you unable to take any DHT blockers at all (fin or ru).

                My personal view is RU is the next step up from finesteride and dut in the sense if finesteride stops working etc.

                      hi me myself i would not use the higher dose minox as the tests state more side affects above 5% which even that can cause headachs and dizzy spells i know the fda is a pain and the uk as well but sometimes its for our own good if high strength minox does get into our blood stream then it works the same as oral which we know that lonerton was a blood pressure drug.
                      I myself would rather apply say 3ml a day of 4 0r 5% minox even 4mls.

                          Your better of using genhair finesteride spray if your body is not tolerance to that dose.

                            Hi Guys,

                            I am quite new to this forum so would appreciate your advice. My crown is quickly disappearing and I am in my early 20s. I have ordered RU 2% and 5% and have never taken fin or minox due to the fear of having to using it for the rest of my life. Is it the same case with RU? As in when u finish taking it, will all the hairs regrown using it fall out like with minox and fin?

                            I currently only take natural supps like saw palm complex and multi vits and I use Regenepure DR and NT shampoo and conditioner..

                            My crown is thinning thick and fast and would love any advice you guys could provide.

                              Yes, you'll need to be on it 'for life', same with fin and minox.

                                The last piece of the puzzle for me remains how I'm to spread 1 mL of liquid over the necessary areas; this just seems like such a small amount. Am I missing something?

                                What type of dropper are you all using? Could you maybe grab a quick pic, or find one on google images that is similar so I can better understand? If not, no worries, but perhaps a description? Where'd can someone buy these droppers [which measure less than 1ml incrementally]?

                                I'm even looking at these needles I've got with measurements of 3/10 mL on them, but it's literally such a small amount that I can't fathom spreading it over anything really, let alone the required areas.. In dire need of some clarification here.

                                Regards,
                                clandestine.
