Need New source of 15% Minoxidil-former Dr. Lee Patient

[WarLord]

Upjohn did more studies than just this one.

I see you belong to the gang of internet windbags, who have nothing to do except lurking about hairloss forums and spread "guaranteed information" for which they can't find a source.

Yes, one of us is a windbag...

...but it isn't me.

Then quote the study that you base your opinion on. Otherwise shut up and stop visiting this forum. Nobody is interested in the crap with which you infect its visitors.

I'm always interested in what she has to say, that is what the forum is about ... everyone sharing ideas, questions and opionions.

Thanks Tracy

Warlord,

If you feel I am wasting your time, you are not worth my time. I know I am right and you are wrong. That is good enough for me. I do not gain anything from this so I do not need to take it any farther. Call in during the Bald Truth Talk broadcast this Sunday and pose your question.

Nothing wrong with disagreeing but no reason for this to get uncivilized.
Now kiss and make up

And the link to the research you quoted...?

[Davey Jones]

I can't personally find a study comparing anything but the 5% and the 2% (and placebo, of course) either. It's a pretty common question, so it'd be good to have a clear answer. It's not unfair to ask to see a study (but without being a dick about it).

Does anyone know of a study they could link to or post that shows that the benefits of monoxidil diminish at or before 15%?

During Upjohn's research, they also tested higher doses of Minoxidil. Every drug company does. It is standard procedure to do so. Since they found good reason not to pursue marketing higher dose blends, they did not include higher percentages in their FDA study. There would be no point in doing so. Anyone who truly understands how research works would know that. How else do you think they determined the doses they submitted to the FDA? They didn't pull it out of the air.

The important thing is Upjohn noted that higher doses primarily only increased the chances of experiencing the possible negative side effects and did not increase the efficacy in any significant way. This is stated on every bottle of Rogaine that you buy. This information alone should be more than enough for anyone who has even the slightest little bit of common sense.

All I have to say to Warlord is this. It is your body. Do with it what you want. But do not recommend others to use any product that falls outside of what the FDA has approved. Especially when we are talking about higher doses like this. Doses high enough to cause harm. Doing so is irresponsible and unethical.
