What the hell is precipitating for my minoxidil?

I've added 10mg of Proscar and 200mg of caffeine (no doz tablet), and my solution has turned cloudy!

What's the cause? Is it the "packaging" of the tablet or has something necessarily (finasteride, min or caffeine) dropped out of solution?

pure PPG can hold 7.5% min, and pure ethanol can hold 2.9%. So the 5% minoxidil is close to saturation. However, finasteride and min are both yellow/white solids, so it is hard to say which is precipitating. probably the less soluble one. I don't know what to say. did you stir filler up in there? it is almost like a reaction is happening if it turns cloudy everywhere at once.

Thanks for your help, it's coming more cloudy each passing day.. looks like i'll have to pour out some fresh minoxidil and add the caffeine and finasteride in seperately to see which one is doing it :(
