10mg Minoxidil Tablets - Any Chemists Out There?

[kiwi666]

I have managed to source 10mg minoxidil tablets. However I only want 1.5mg tablets.

The tablets are too small to cut into six pieces.

So I am considering weighing them and then crushing them into a powder and making my own tablet.

Any tips or pointers on how I’d do this? Is it possible? What equipment do I need?

A mortar and pestle and a good balance?

What did you buy? Loniten 10mg by Pfizer?
TO Chemical (I wouldn't trust them but that is because I'm paranoid about everything and everyone) makes 5mg under the name Noxidil -- you could probably chop that up in half quite easily with a pill cutter and just take 2.5mg/nightly

1.5 mg isnt very helpful in males tbh. There is a study showing it’s effectively useless. 2.5mg is the minimum you should be taking.

You’re right:

I’m going to try 2.5 though. I’ll be happy if it just stabilises.
