Switching from Propylene Glycol-Free 5% to 2% Minoxidil

Posted by admin on February 1st, 2012 at 08:49pm

Doc.. I can’t take the PG in minoxidil formulas and the foam seems to get more on my hair than my scalp. I have been taking 5% non PG Formulas from Dr. Lee who is now out of business. How much hair can one expect to lose going from a 5% formula for years to 2%.. which I’m assuming has less PG. is that a correct assumption? You can get 2% minoxidil from the drug store without propylene glycol (woman’s version of the product). I can not predict what the effect of reducing the dose would be, but I might suggest more frequent use than just twice a day as you ‘crank’ down the dose. As everyone is different in their response to minoxidil, I really can’t tell just will happen. Although this isn’t a prescription medication, talk to your doctor about changing dosage, as there may be other effects that can occur based on your medical history.
