Then go to a compounding pharmacy to have it made.

I think this view is too simplistic. The evidence suggests that compounding 15% minoxidil is problematic. I understand that the Belgravia Clinic and others have said they cannot do it and produce a cream/paste, instead. Other compounding chemists have tried it and cannot solve problems of crystallization. Others say they can do it, but from the research I have done with users of ******* 15, they don't do it so effectively. I would like to know why.

Also, you are, of course, referring to the situation in the USA. My interests are more international/global/scientific.

No. You are needlessly over complicating the issue.
