Switch To Higher Strength Minoxidil? (dualgen?)

[Renegade000]

Hi All,

I've been on 5% Rogaine for about 7 years.
Things have deteriorated over the past year or so....

I was wondering whether it might be worth trying a a higher strength minoxidil. I was considering 10% Dualgen with 5% AA from Minoxidil Max - probably once a day + 5% rogaine in the morning.
Have people had any success switching to a higher strength minoxidil?

I'm also be bit weary abut minoxmax as a company and there seems to be mixed opinions of the effectiveness of their products on the forum. Any experiences with minoxmax or recommendations for alternative suppliers?

Would appreciate any input...

If you are using Finasteride, or Adrovart, than it probably is worth it.

Without an anti DHT agent though, I fear Minoxidil has temporary effects. It will work
for a while, but eventually hormones will destroy the hair follicles.

I'm not on finasteride - I experienced side effects...
I'm considering to also use Revivogen to try and potentially combat DHT to some degree.

Have you used a higher strength minoxidil with any results?

Does finasteride actually help the hair that's growing only because of minoxidil in the first place?

I have switched to 7.5% from 5% about 6-8 weeks ago. Been seeing a visible shed. I don't know whether to stick with it or go back to 5%.

Where are you getting 7.5% from? What's the brand? I've never seen 7.5%...

India.
It's a brand called morr. Not very common here either.

I am considering switching from 5% foam and 1mg finasteride oral to a liquid with minoxidil finasterid and AA.

But I can only find the 15% minoxidil 0,1% finasteride 5% AA at dualgen.

I am not sure about the 15%!
