How to make 2.5% min from 5% minoxidil?

[Ticken]

Cis-female, 100lbs and planning to start minoxidil this week.
I'm a little concerned that 5% min may be a bit strong for me, at least to start.
Any chemistry minded folks have suggestions on the best way to make a 2.5% minoxidil solution out of kirkland liquid 5% minoxidil?
Could I add an equal amount of ethanol to the minoxidil solution to dilute to 2.5%?
Are there other options (glycerin, water) that would work to dilute the strength down to 2.5%?

Add 30ml Propylene Glycol (PG), 18ml ethanol, 9ml distilled/purified water

I have seen you around for a while on here so hello.

For an easier solution, you could try using half as much but since there's 2% minoxidil for women, that's close enough. Based on what I have read, if you use the 2 percent topical at night and use one to three drops of it each morning to drizzle on the back of your tongue that should be close to best case scenario. You could also add a small amount of retin-A to your liquid minoxidil, derma-roll and add 25 mg spironolactone as recommended by Rob Winter at perfect hair health:
