Question.

Post by Gaga »

Okay, I have decided to post again after losing my earlier post but this time I am gonna keep it short 'n sweet.
I have been using Dr. Lee's 5%Minoxidil Solution (2 X a day). The first few days my scalp got a little irritated but within no time it was gone (the irritation that is :lol:). Now I make sure to use oil every now and again to avoid this irritation.
Have been using Nizoral 2% shampoo (2 X a week).
I was considering adding Dr. Lee's 15%Xandrox Solution to use at night.
I believe that 15%Xandrox is really strong.
Will it be overkill since my hair loss isnt that bad? Will it do more harm than good?
My hairline has not yet receded but thinned a little. Elsewhere I still have all of my hair.
That was it.
Cheers.

I think you've got a good enough regimen that 5% should be sufficient. If you do decide to use Xandrox 15, in your case, I would only use it once a day, at night time before bed, and very sparingly. It's very potent stuff!

BTW, why are you using 2.5mg Proscar (I am assuming this is daily) as opposed to half of that?

In any case, I think the Proscar and minox 5% are sufficient for you if you feel you are at least maintaining your current hair.

Regards,
Sam

Hi Sam,
Thanks for saving my other post.
If I do get the 15Xandrox I will be using it at night and the 5 in the morning since it dries quickly.
I have been using the 5% twice daily; .5ml each side morning and night since these areas are very small and I need only a few drops.
Why am I using 2.5 mg Proscar daily?
My doctor has prescribed me Proscar and it is on repeat three monthly without having to see him I only phone his assistant and she faxes the prescription to the pharmacy and I go the next day to pick it up. The first month I took 5 mg but then I minimized the doses to avoid the side effects.
So, I have now 2 full boxes untouched and have not even been opened.
Anyone interested in buying them for a good price? Or maybe swapping them with something :wink: :lol:
I am serious
Cheers
