Using minoxidil for the past 10 years.
Hi Doctor, I've been using Minoxidil for the past 10 years. All these years I was using only alcohol based minoxidil but recently changed to man matter water based one with some Procapil. Man Matters Groww Maxx 5%. Need your advice on whether water based minoxidil actually works or should I stick to the alcohol based one.
And water based works to some extent or it doesn't work at all??
Also is there any erection related side effects for minoxidil??
