If i miss one week of Minoxidil application...

[grabber]

Would this be bad you think. Of course i can go at the local drug store i buy one bottle for the price of 6. It is just increadible how cheap we can buy Rogaine or Kirkland minoxidil 5% from United State compared to here in Canada. Can you beleive we are paying 50.00 Canadian Dollars for 1 month supply of Rogaine 2% !!!
I just ordered my Kirkland from Ebay last week, and i expect it to arrive sometime next week. Just ran out of minoxidil last night.... humm... Would this be bad if i pass the week without applying the minoxidil twice daily ?

thanks for responding.

I think taking a break from the harsh chemicals from time to time is actually a good thing. I do it every once in awhile to let the skin relax.

missing is not a big deal. It is the average application over the year that matters. do not wast the $44 dollars. you might get a small shed from hairs that need the minoxdil, but i guarantee that even if they enter telogen, they will not die in a week. the minoxidil will save them when you appply it again. just use 2mL instead of 1mL on a few nights for a week or two after it arrives.

i could not find my equate minoxidil at walmart this week. I don't know if they stopped carrying it or if i was too impatient to search for it in the dense crowd. did you say kirkland minoxidil is also $6? where do you order it from.

if you are really worried, in the 5 year propecia trial, after the first year some of the propecia group was switched to placebo for a whole year. They fell 75% the way down to the original placebo group. then they were put back on finasteride and caught back up with the propecia group in 3 years. This proves that it takes over a year for a healthy hair to die, at least with most men. Men who were in the placebo group the first year and switched to propecia for the remaining 4 years never caught up the propecia group, staying at least 40 hairs behind at the end. This shows that in a one inch circle, the average guy permenantly looses 40 hairs per year in his earlier year. After the first two years, the placebo men started losing hairs at a faster and faster rate, like a ball that was thrown off a bridge. pretty scary. i wish I had started propecia sooner.

you'll be fine for a week. don't panic if you get a small shed. It will all come back. and I doubt you will shed. I know from experience that i shed if i miss a month, but it came back.

No what i ment was that if i go to the local drug store , i will pay 6 times the price i use to pay when i buy from Ebay (USA)

A 2% one month supply worth 50.00 Cdn dollars. I can buy 2 x three month supply for that price on Ebay.

i know that is what you meant. and i said you should place your ebay order and wait a week for it to arrive and not worry about the missed week. it is not worth spending 50-6=44 dollars extra.
