minoxidil 5%.....someone please!!!

[Inch]

Hi, I am going around in circles trying to find a place to buy minoxidil 5% in CANADA. It is only available OTC in 2% here. Does anybody have any info on this for me? There are so many sites outside of Canada, who can I trust? Thanks.....

US is just as stupid. A kid can pick up a bottle of 5% minoxidil with no prescription or anything... but you can't get 2% Nizoral without a prescription like you can in Canada.

I sense a good illicit business opportunity. Purchase a huge stuffed bear, and place it in the bed of a towed UHaul truck. Take the stuffing out of the bear, and use it to hide shipments of 5% minoxidil to Canada, and on the return leg, 2% Nizoral for Americans.

What the hell. I thought NAFTA was supposed to solve shitlike this.

In the UK a 12 year old kid can go into a pharmacy and legally pick up a bottle of 2% Nizoral and 5% minoxidil.

God bless the queen.

that link powerchords gave is much cheaper than dr. lee's. what makes dr. lee's minoxidil better? do u guys think i should just switch to the cheaper one.

You know I used to work in a few animal hospitals, and Nizoral is used on dogs, as are many meds of course.

You can probably just call a local animal hospital and ask for the 5% Nizoral. It is worth a shot anyway. It IS the same stuff, and I think they will more than likely just sell it to you if you act like you have bought it before.

what makes dr. lee's minoxidil better?

Dr Lees dries much much quicker, in around 10-15 minutes, rogaine takes hours (as much as 3-4) to dry.

Haven't timed it, but the Safeway generic minoxidil I've been using seems to dry - almost to the touch - in around 10 minutes.

Is the Safeway generic minoxidil you use 5% ?

Is the Safeway generic minoxidil you use 5% ?

Yes. The bottle lists: minoxidil 5%, alcohol 30%, propylene glycol 50%, and purified water, as its ingredients.
