Actually - it's gotten several positive testimonials (other than those seen on TV). In addition to having 5% minoxidil as it's base, it also includes liquid saw palmetto, liquid beta-sitosterol and some other stuff.
I just started using Joe Zix's home-made version of Scalpmed (minomuck) which includes everything mentioned above except the "other stuff" which he feels probably doesn't do anything anyway.
All I can say now is that Joe's stuff is inexpensive and very cosmetically acceptable (doesn't muck up your hair). I use it w/ Dr. Lee's standard 5%.
