Unfortunately, the way these studies are designed we can only gauge what minoxidil does in the aggregate.

In the aggregate, it buys time. When you stop using minoxidil, you go back to where you would have been without the minoxidil in a few months.

In my own case, I'm not noticing significant difference after several months of minoxidil and RU.

hey david you seem to be a wise man .
The problem is that despite having had a shed at the beginning and no result , ive got a f*****g hypertrichosis because the minoxidil , so i can't massage it anymore . Do you think i can just let the minoxidil liquid soak on my scalp and achieving some result ?

Have you seen regrowth with the RU? you use it daily? how many ml does those 15mg have?

Im lossing hope, I have used minoxidil, finasteride topical, spironolactone topical, and my scalp itches and my hair keeps falling. I hope the RU works because im at the verge of jumping in front of a train or something.

Minoxidil destros your hair. Then it regrows a very little bit. Not enough to compensate the destruction ot caused. It has ruined my hairline.
Has anyone recovered from the shed in the hairline?

I've been using minoxidil for several years and I never experienced any shedding. I was never fond of minoxidil, though. My #1 hairloss treatment is and always was finasteride. In fact, I'm waiting for Brotzu's lotion to quit minoxidil completely.

As for scalp irritation, use the wonderful Rogaine foam - it contains no alcohol and is better tolerated.
