Concentration for minoxidil
I wanted to ask if 2 ml of 5% minoxidil is equal to 1 ml of 10% minoxidil !?
For example if i use 1 ml 5% in the morning and 1 ml 5% in the evening compared to using 1 ml 10% for the whole day.
And i wasn't seeing enough results with 5% anyomre that's why i thought of changing the concentration.
I'm using minoxidil 5% on and off from past 4-5 years
And i recently started with finasteride 1 mg 3 months back
Thanks. Please reply.

No you cannot equate concentration like that. Minoxidil needs to be used continuously for proper benefit, not on and off. Minoxidil and fimasteride combination gives better result that either one alone but takes 3-6 months continuous use for visible result.
