Looking for a new Pharmacy for minoxidil

[samxero]

I have been using Murry Avenue Apothecary for 28 years, and now they are no more.
I was getting minoxidil 5% with AA, and minoxidil 5% with RA. I preferred the way the made it, as it
wasn't so gloppy, like the stuff I get over the counter. Much dryer.
So my question is, can anyone recommend a compounding pharmacy for this, that I can get my
dermatologist to call in prescriptions?
Kind of in a bind here.

Thanks.

No replies? I mean, where do you guys get it? Online?

How about the original Rogaine ? Or Kirkland from Amazon website ?

I buy to a local pharmacy in Paris.
They make a recipe without propylen glycol.

Original Rogaine doesn't have these additives, and I find it to be too gloppy. I see so many people taking minoxidil with extras, and you tend
to have to get that from a compounding pharmacy. I'm surprised I'm not getting more responses. I've see all kinds of people taking this and that,
so they have to be getting it from somewhere.
Also, I'm in the US.

OK. I am taking you one more step ahead. I am using Rogaine and generic oral minoxidil 2.5 mg daily from my US doctor with insurance. Oral minoxidil is originally used to lower blood pressure with 10 mg daily. Ask your doctor to write a prescription for 2.5 mg oral minoxidil pills which is off label for hair growth. 2.5 mg daily has very little side effect. It will grow hair much faster and better than Rogaine. Use Google to search "oral minoxidil hair". This treatment has been popular since 2017.

I'm looking into that oral med, now. Still, I would very much like to find a new pharmacy for the topical.
