    Aprikat T, I believe? They don't sell it in the US. He lives in the UK. He gets
    it by script there. I can't find any links to it.

    It's a topical estrogen based substance. I never used it. But he definitely
    got good results.

            Hi Funks there is the Wimpole clinic in londow that sells 5% minoxidil with medroxyprogestorone for 120ml bottle i think its £55 link www.wimpoleclinic.com
            There is the uk norton clinic just search for that they i think are not in london, there is a chemist in uk at upper breeding chemist that actually makes minoxidil for many clinics in uk i have a tell number and the Drs name is Dr Alan Robinson and you can tel him and tell him you already use minox with progest and you will need to ask for him phone number at local uk rate is 0845 260 3999 the latter is where i buy mine cuts out the middle man.
            You i think can buy it in two months supply which is 120mls but its cheaper from him if you buy 6 months which you can store in the fridge.
            Buy the way guys i have known Dr Robinson chemist many yrs as i got to find him from bio trans jersey which in the 80s and 90s was owned by uk transfom clinic group.
            I have no connection with any of these clinics so is up to you who you choose.

              Just to add that because some clinics you will have to pay a consultation fee and visit them thats why i use Dr Robinson.
              So make sure you can place order over the phone or internet.

                Thanks doke. I'm trying to find the most cost effective product. Ive used Susan's before as jazz has helped me loads (the guy is a legend). The first couple months my hair grew like crazy then it stopped working. Went back to belgravia on the 12.5% cream and now I'm just wanting the most cost effective. As the pound is so weak getting a script, 3 bottles of minoxidil mix and progesterone leave in and custom tax. It is more expensive than belgravia where I play 550 for the year.

                  Currently taking twice the amount of Progesterone (.5% since September 2016).
                  Hey k9gatton. I'm looking to order from Susan (I've used her before) but I wanted to know how big is the bottle and how long does it last? I take it you need a script also. The uk currency is so low that if I got a minoxidil mix, topical progesterone, new year script,shipping and custom tax it costs more than belgravia in U.K. Which they have a 8% which has progesterone and caffeine in.

                  I'm going for a check up tomo. Jazz was saying carry on with regaine liquid as I'm cing ok/good results and get progesterone from Susan.

                  I also wanted to ask how it dries? Liquid regaine can some time leave my hair greasy (I have Afro Caribbean hair)

                  Do u apply minoxidil then cream or other way around?

                    Mine is only .5%.

                    The dosage I take is a gram. So for every .1%, the equivalent is one milligram.

                      It does dry and leave white powder around the scalp. My hair density is very good now. For that reason it really
                      doesn't show (and I put it all over my forehead, and vertex as well).

                      I supplement it with 5% Foam (regular Minoxidil).

                        So it's in the blue bottle with the pump which is 6 pumps then? How long does it take to dry?

                          It's a cream. The prescribed dosage is one gram over bald areas. (The size of a pea,
                          literally on the script!). That is probably the size of one gram.

                          It has to be measured by eye. (It's thick, it won't drip. It used to in cold weather, but
                          recently they managed to overcome that problem). Just let it thaw.

                          My mailman leaves everything unattended in his truck. Told him this, and it was 25 Farenheit.

                          (He still left it in, the term Postal is known as CRAZY in the US, now I know why!!!). He was
                          walking around delivering it door to door.

                            Oh so it's like using retin a cream. Ok thanks for that.

                            I went to the belgraiva Clinic in London yesterday for a check up and get the 8% minoxidil with mpg and caffeine. They told me Ghe can't recommend it to me as I get migraine. Silly as I've used it before. I'm going to get Susan to do me a formula.

                            I'll get the cream of progesterone and c if I react. If not after my three bottles are done I'll add it in to my minox mix. Just makes applying so much easier.

                            Something which is interesting. It seems at this point I respond to liquid better than cream.

                            I actually noticed that with my bottles susan made me. Thanks for heads up.

                                I use a tube with thirty percent in it. The thirty percent is a cream. If that bothers you, you probably shouldn't
                                get a high concentrated amount.

                                Mine just comes in a tube.
