alternative to munudoxil and yes minidoxil has given me VERY good results (i use on my eyebrows however minidoxil and this ingredient can also be used on ur scalp) however there has been research of another ingredient that gives similar results HOWEVER without the negative side effects.
background
i use tropical minoxidil 5% on my eyebrows and it has given me heart palpitations, numbness of limbs and pins and needles.
research on alternatives
i read a couple of studies about something called adenosine, this in studies has said to to have a very similar effect on hair growth as minoxidil and there has also been a study comparing the effects of it here :
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
more information
it might not be as fast as minidoxil but as someone who doesn’t want to use products with prostaglandins (afraid of orbital fat loss) and has health problems that occur due to minidoxil , i will be trying this out.
my protocol and questions (if u answer i will be so very grateful and give u a cookie)
i’m planning to use specfially 0.75% adenosine once a day to maintain and slowly improve my minidoxil results, can someone find me a product i can use in the UK that contains the 0.75% adenosine and no ingredients that can cause immediate vasodilation?
