    Default 15% Minoxidil

    I came across some websites selling 15% minoxidil. Has anyone tried using this, and how effective is it? Previously I've only seen minoxidil sold at the 2% and 5% strength levels.

    Hi

    I have been using a 7.5% mixture for over 13 years and have been pretty happy with thevresults until recently. My pharmacist makes it up for me.

    I have not seen any studies comparing 5% Minoxidil with higher % Minoxidil concentrations. I would imagine that the incidence of side effects might be higher with greater % of Minoxidil. However, many of the reported side effects might actually be caused by the other ingredients in these hair loss products containing Minoxidil.
