Does it even say ketoconazole on the bottle? Which country are you buying it from? If it doesn't say anything then it's probably not a good sign.

Yes it does, it's Nizoral which is the brand name for keto shampoo in this country.

I decided to test out the 'don't apply min until 24 hours after needling' theory last night, applying it about 8 hours after finishing my session... I can report back that indeed it is a BAD idea to apply it so soon after. I couldn't sleep properly, felt weird, like bad anxiety but almost light headed with it.

I have applied immediately after rolling with my derma rolling and was totally fine, but I think the wounding clearly is much more intense with a den or D2, and as a result the systemic absorption is much higher.

Definitely won't be doing that again!!!

Yeah but it doesn't and I know this because I checked the whole bottle three times because it didn't appear to be listed.

The concentration has to be declared by law. If it doesn't give a percentage it'll give you a number in mg/g

I normally buy a larger bottle from the chemist, but the last one I bought from Amazon for the first time and it's a tiny bottle so i'd imagine the % was on the packaging. This one might be different to what I normally bought from the chemist so probably makes no difference anyway. Just checked though an it's 20mg/g, but like I said it doesn't mean the one I normally bought from the chemist was ‍♂️

I never had problem sleeping with anything I applied topical maybe because I take Melatonin 3mg before bedtime which is good for hair too. I use VPA & minoxidil right after. I don't see the point of waiting if wounding takes 12-24 hours to close again. Folks here seem to be super sensitive to stuff that would not even kill a mosquito.

Follica even tested the serum levels of minoxidil when applied immediately after wounding, and they never rose above safe levels.

Interesting comment around taking melatonin, are you taking it for hair loss and do you feel as if it's doing anything for you?

Reason for asking is Triple Hair's upcoming topical TH16 is: Resveratrol + Melatonin

I take melatonin too, plus CBD and Magnesium... But then again I have quite bad sleep problems on normal nights anyway.

My body definitely reacted negatively to applying minoxidil, I can't say how it'll affect others, but it was quite pronounced and not something I'll be doing again.

Sounds to me like anxiety because you were worried about what would happen from doing it.

Nah, I suffered from anxiety in the past extremely badly hence the CBD oil I now take... I wasn't worried at all about taking minoxidil soon after needling, had a definite physical reaction to the systemic absorption

If you weren't worried about it at all, then why didn't you take it immediately after wounding instead of waiting 12 hours? I take it immediately after wounding, and so do many others. You're the first person to report any problem with it. Now there will be many more because of the nocebo effect.

I didn't I waited 8 hours as my head felt raw as f*** and I didn't fancy slapping it on straight away.

I love how people get so irate over someone's opinion or findings that don't fit their narrow viewpoint... These are MY findings, I'm sharing them for the benefit of the thread, if you don't agree I honestly couldn't care less.

I've taken minoxidil for 15 years, I'm not new to this, so I genuinely think you need to wind your neck in

Nobody is irate. I'm just giving my opinion, I'm allowed to do that. I genuinely think you need to chill out. No wonder you have anxiety issues.

Ok dude, sure...

Anyway to summarise, I definitely had some effects from applying minoxidil 8 hours post Folica protocol first attempt, either believe that or don't.

On with the thread...
