Complete RU58841 Usage Guide

[Binford]

Hi fellas, I'm a newbie so I'm sorry if my question is a dumb one. First thx hellouser for the wicked write up. I'm looking to get on this as right now im only on minox and a shampoo. First question, are there reported sides from RU? And from looking at the picture and making my shopping list, i get what everything there is except cb-03-01. Any help would be great and any info on group buys of ru or seti would be even better. Thx folks

Thank you so much for this RU58841 guide hellouser, it helped me out a lot.

The thing I find more appealing about RU is just that I can use however much I want in specific spots like the temples or where there is tiny hair without affecting anything else. Although I would admit fin is much less a hassle to use especially where you have hair still.

I am on finasteride for 3 year now but my hair in the front is receding.

I see that RU is very popular these days...

Anyone who is on both fin+RU..?

I'm on both fin and RU but I've been too short on both to really say anything about it... Been on fin for about 2.5 months and on RU for about 5 months (although last month I didn't really keep up with it...)

Anyway I haven't really seen a lot of results as of yet but it's too soon to say anything, so I can't really help you.

Have you considered getting on dutasteride instead of going fin+RU?

I use anagenincs 3% solution, I order two bottles at a time and its working really well for me

joely could you point me in the direction to purchase that?

And yes, I believe there's that much water in Kirkland. You can't find this information anywhere on the bottle though, I googled it and multiple sites said that Kirkland contained 30% alcohol, 50% propylene glycol and (purified) water. It didn't say how much water but as there weren't any other compounds described, I naturally assumed that it had to be 20% (purified) water.

whoops, typo. Just for clarification (couldn't edit my post anymore)

Hey quick question

I can't get 95% alcohol in my country without prescription.. What would u suggest me to use as a vehicle for RU? KB or minoxidil? or is there other way?

I could also order ready solution from anageninc wich is 8% RU in PG+Ethanol, but i have read many bad things about premixed solutions...

pls halp :,D

Is there really that much water in Kirkland? That's the shit I use also. I thought it was closer to 5%? Then again, I haven't bothered to read the label. It seems to be working for me in that I haven't seemed to lose any more hair. The first couple of months I was on it I had surprisingly good regrowth, but that has stopped dead in it's tracks. I use minox as a vehicle out of pure laziness, but I do add a wee but of isopropyl to help things along. Thinking of changing the vehicle but it would become a pain in the ass to apply minox and RU daily as separate solutions.

Never had any issues with itching. I use Nizoral 3x per week and it definitely helps with that. I'm surprised you aren't having good results if you're on fin too. I'd never touch the stuff myself. I'm just hoping to hold on tight with RU until, hopefully, one of these many treatments we're all talking about actually turns out to do something for once. They can't all fail forever, right? Something's gotta give.

Regarding the bolded, my thoughts exactly. I used 1 ml minox + 0.4ml ethanol + 0.1ml pg (so 1.5ml total) as a vehicle for my RU for a while and it was decent, only problem was that I ran out of RU a lot quicker as I needed more RU to get the same concentration. I could make this vehicle again with the same proportions of minox:ethanolg for a total of 1ml but the problem I then have is that there wouldn't be that much minox in it anymore (well, it's 'only' 0.33ml less but still, don't really wanna go below 1ml minox).

Btw I'm surprised too! I guess it's just very aggressive mpb. I'll ride out the 1 full year as recommended but I'm already thinking of switching to dut, even though I'm not a big fan of DUT. I can also increase my RU dosage because I'm using a low dosage atm (RU is kind of expensive and I'm just a poor student), that might help too. It feels good to have at least a few backup plans, even though those backup plans aren't the most desirable ones.

But like you said, let's hope new things come out soon!

I'm from Hungary..

[joely]

Where in Europe are you? If you are in the UK I have some spare in powder form that may see you through until James shipment arrives

I don't know if it has happened to anyone else, but Kane is f *cking with my order. Ordered 2 weeks and still nothing i wrote 10+ emails they always say "we'll ship you today or tomorrow''.. They gave me a tracking number which is not working then they said sorry we've mad a mistake. I'm from Europe last time they shipped from their office in france. Now they finally admitted that "we are out of stock" but we will ship it today... that was the day before yesterday.. I'm running out of RU my hair is finally good and I don't want to loose ground..

Not sure about the water mate. RU is only very partially soluble, if anything, in water, so it's best to use as little as possible. Better to up the propylene glycol to at least 70% and remove the water altogether or just use cheap minox as the vehicle. RU is the only thing that has really worked for me.

I know man, water is shit but I asked because my kirkland minox (AKA my cheap minox) exists of exactly those things in those concentrations but for some reason it doesn't do its job as a vehicle very good (that's likely due to the water). I have asked before in this thread about mixing RU and minox, but so far I haven't figured out if RU in minox does its job as well as RU in a steady 70/30 alcohol/pg vehicle (something I used to do before minox).

I'm glad to hear RU is working for you mate. I myself am not having that much succes with my regime or so it seems... It still seems like my hair line is thinning + receding and my whole scalp is itching like f*ck, even though I'm on 1mg fin + RU (low dose) + minox + nizoral. Here's to hoping the itching is actually from my cheap minox haha
