All we need to know about Bimatoprost for regrowth

[John979]

Precision scales are expensive. Don't measure one dose at a time... A scale which can measure mcg accurately, is VERY expensive. Make enough solution for one month at a time. That's 30 mg bimatoprost, if you're going to use 1 mg a day.

I have yet to reveive mine yet, but that is what I plan on doing, 30ml per month.

Bimatoprost has been shown to be stable in solution for much longer than that though judging from the eyedrops. Maybe you could fill a 100ml bottle with your vehicle then just add the whole 100mg to it?

This is my intention. I am putting 100mg bimatoprost into 180 ml of a minoxidil vehicle, making enough for 3 months, twice a day application of a roughly 0.06% concentration.

It looks like something you could snort, but it would barely be enough for one nostril.

 

[Ende]

LOL!

 

[Mens Rea]

Enden - do you think one could mix this stuff in their own minoxidil or would you need to make it seperately?

 

[Ende]

You could mix it with Rogaine, a generic version, or your own version. It doesn't matter. Basic principle; you need alcohol and a nonvolatile liquid like PG to penetrate the scalp efficiently.

I have no experience mixing solutions. You guys seem to have a good amount of experience. A few questions.

What type and concentration of ethanol alcohol is best?
What type and concentration of pg is best?
What type and brand electronic scale is best?
What type of purified water is best?
Can I get this stuff on amazon or any other web sites in the US?

thanks.

Theoretically, a combination of 90% ethanol (96%) and 10% PG should give you maximum absorption. We're using very small amounts of bimatoprost, so 10% PG should be a lot more than enough. Take a look at the PDF document.

You need a digital precision scale, and I recommend one with 0.002g or 0.001g accuracy.

Use distilled water if you're going to use water.

 

[dopey]

Anyone start using this yet? How is it obsorbed?

 

[John979]

Looks like OC shipped the order. :bravo:

A precision scale is mandatory when you're experimenting with chemicals. At least if you want to do it safely.

Dude, not the answer I was hoping for. How much does the appropriate scale cost?

My scale goes to 3 decimals, so in theory it goes down to "1mg"...

Why do you need that precision? Just throw the whole lot in 100ml of ethanol/PG mixture and you have your 0.1% solution...use 1 ml a day... might be a good idea tho to test first whether it dissolves in ethanol with a little bit of it.

 

[Ende]

I wouldn't prepare more than 1 month at a time, but it's definitely easier your way, and it's probably fine when the solution contains alcohol.

 

[Ende]

How are people doing? Has everyone begun treatment?

 

[blaze]

Have you begun enden?

I have not begun as I am still waiting for cutoms to clear my package! Should be here soon. When it does... its ON!

Mixing with 5% minoxidil, making 0.09% strength.

 

[John979]

It seems mine was shipped in two packages, which is good as I do not have to cut the order.

As I am tapering minoxidil out of my regimen, the first 45 days will be a solution of 5% minoxidil 0.06% Bimatoprost. The next 45 days will be 5% AM, 2% PM minoxidil 0.06% Bimatoprost.

With the next Bimatoprost order, I will taper to 2%/2% minoxidil for 45 days, then 2% minoxidil once per day, with an alcohol/pg vehicle for the other Bimatoprost application.

After 6 months, I will be minoxidil free.

 

[blaze]

Any reason why you are dropping minoxidil?

 

[John979]

Any reason why you are dropping minoxidil?

Have become very concerned regarding side effects. Plus, I think there are more effective growth stimulators, such as Bimatoprost nd the various Azoles.

 

[big3nme]

I am planning on doing my first application tonight.

I was going to use minoxidil as my vehicle as well but I want to add more ethanol to it. My plan was as follows:

For every 1ml of 5% minoxidil add 1.5ml of ethanol.

This creates a 2.5ml of solution with:

72% ethanol, 20% ppg, 8% water

It will contain 50mg minoxidil, 80mg RU, 1mg bimatoprost

Meaning my topical will have 2% minoxidil, 3.2% RU, and .04% bima

Maybe this is too low. hm.. what do you think I should do?

 

[Ende]

No, I'm not using bimatoprost. I'm working on RU58841 and experimenting with hGH.

big3nme; you probably need a lot more than 20% PG for 50 mg minoxidil and 80 mg RU. I wouldn't alter the Rogaine vehicle. Use it as it is, or make your own solution.

Ok that makes sense... don't we want high ETH% for the small amount of BIM though? Should I just use a custom vehicle for it.. I dont really have time to do 2 seperate applications though..hm

guess i can just throw it into the normal minoxidil mix, don't want to waste it though.

 

[Ende]

But you got some right? When are you going to start?

Yeah, I have it. I don't know. I'm switching to the original RU58841 vehicle soon. I want to phase out minoxidil, and I'll push the RU dose towards 100 mg if it turns out that I need more than 50 mg.

I applied 75 mg RU58841 yesterday. Seems like it was well tolerated. I've used 250 mg Proviron today (yes, 250 mg), including a lot of Andractim. I feel the androgenic effects, but it doesn't increase shedding. I'll be doing this for a couple of more days. I'm suppressing the estrogen level to the point of deficiency, once again - but this time by using DHT, which is a lot more pleasant than AI's.
