I FOUND OUT WHO MAKES KIRKLAND!!!

GUYS CHECK THIS OUT

Did you ever wonder who makes the generic minoxidil. We did too. For years we hear rumors that it was made in the same plant in Kalamazoo, Michigan as Rogaine.

We suspected that this was the case when our shipments were arriving by truck from the Kalamazoo area. Recently, our hunch was verified when the Kirkland brand 5% Minoxidil began arriving in cases with "Distributed by Pfizer Consumer Healthcare" on them. We were so excited that we took a picture of the cases.

It makes financial sense that when a product becomes available as a generic formula that the original manufacturer would offer a generic version. Selling more product would help them decrease their unit cost using economy of scale. This would allow them to make more money on the name brand product.

It still seems a little strange that Rogaine and the Generic Equivalent would be made by the same company. I guess a picture is worth a thousand words.

Very good find Melchang. Thanks for the post! I think this is good news overall for those that may have doubted that Kirkland was as good as Rogaine.
