OK. Then only you remain)

Can you tell me why this solution should be used once a week. And have you tried mixing it with minoxidil?

By the way, how do you evaluate the result. which result is better minoxidil or bicalutamide?
Because bica has a half life of about 1 week. Only once a week will help prevent systemic build-up. Never tried mixing it with minoxidil. If you want best results from minoxidil you should just go low dose oral anyways. But if I had to ultimately pick one or the other, oral minoxidil is definitely the best thing we have out there at the moment IMO. Understand though that these drugs operate in completely different mechanisms and can work synergistically. Even finasteride on top of these is going to compliment them since it is also a different pathway.

Never met oral minoxidil. I use the spray once a day.

What about absorbency. How long bicalutamide is absorbed into the scalp. Can I, for example, wash my hair in a day, or will I have to not wash for a week, lol.

It has penetrated your Scalp skin and reached your folicles 2 to 4h after application. So go ahead and wash all u want.

bicalutamide is worth a try. Another anti-androgen. Your smart to just apply it to scalp. Ofcourse it works better orally, but incremental improvement is better than nothing. If I had the pills I would just crush them into a powder. Mixing it in minoxidil w) propylene Glycol makes sense. Why stress over it. Just mix it & apply.. But I predict it’s not enough—But you’re going in right direction, because male pattern baldness is a very strong condition to overcome.

Yesterday I made the first solution and today I put it on my head.

I crushed the whole tablet, mixed it with alcohol and shook it for 15-20 minutes, but the sediment still remained.

Very inconvenient to apply on the head. At first I tried to draw it into a syringe, and drip it on my head, but somehow it turned out badly that everything flowed onto my face)

After that, I took the sperey and puffed from it, it’s already better, but I’m not sure if it’s right, maybe the trigger head filters alcohol from bicalatumide. I think the next procedure to do in 4-5 days. I have to get used to doing it right.
