I didn't mean literally, I meant in a sense that it's a topical but it seems to have a better effect on the hair than minoxidil does.
Most people dont get anything from minoxidil other than maybe maintanence at best, but the average person that uses BIM at least gets minor thickening, nothing significant but enough to notice.
But still, there aren't many bim users out there due to price, so it's a bit hard to judge.

I've made my own Bimatoprost/Prostaglandin solution as I'm a pharmacist, been using small doses only I may up the dosage slightly
Seems to work very well with no side effects
Been using it for 45 days just in the morning
Personally I think It has stopped
My hair loss
Starting to get some growth, time
Will tell just how much

What percentage of bimatoprost?
-
I've been using 0.03% at the minute
I've made quite a few 60ml bottles of that strength no side effects at all
I might up it to 0.06 or 0.1

Great that you may be getting results. Thought you may have been using a higher concentration. I was wondering if a compounding pharmacy would be able to formulate a 0.1% solution, but would assume it would be rather costly.

I would be able to formulate it myself at 0.1%
Without having very high costs, the 0.03 isn't that expensive for me to formulate for myself
At the moment I use about 4ml daily with the 0.03%
So far I would say it has definitely stopped my shedding and my existing hair seems to be getting thicker and i haven't been using that long

4ml 0.03 daily means how many mg?

Tito555 where are you located? If you are in the UK id very much like to pay you to conduct this formula for me.. BiM looks to promising to miss out on

Do you want 0.03%
I will calculate the cost for you
