Is that strictly prescription?

No lol it’s over the counter and you apply it topically. The liquid is more powerful than the foam, but the foam is better for sensitive skin.

Couple of things:

  • Wash your face before use
  • Apply it topically to the area 2* a day
  • Wash it off after an hour then apply moisturiser
  • Use sunscreen and wear a hat. Minox makes skin more sensitive to sun damage.

It was originally a blood pressure medication with a side effect of growing hair. Don’t take it if you have blood pressure issues.

I’ve been applying it for a couple of years and I went from not being able to grow a single hair to having a pretty decent beard— still needs some improvement though, so I’m applying once per day.

Just a note to anyone considering minoxidil, it is extremely toxic to cats even in very small amounts.
