Isopropyl said:$40 is for 2% or 3% version? i saw the 5% version costly around $60.
i got presciption from my doctor and got minoxi5(80ml) for $37.80 which will last around 40days and proscar for $112.50. have been using propecia for more than 1years which cost $90 for 4weeks. now using proscar which will only cost around $28 for 4weeks.
hope to further reduce the price. if anyone got any good lobang, please let me know. hehe...
ericsoon72 said:want to ask if the brand of the minoxidil 5% is Regaine. Cos i've bought a bottle from NTUC Unity at around $120 and it's only 60ml.
Also, can i know where to get the 5% version for $60?
quite confused here...heh....maybe some kind-hearted soul can list down the brand,names, price and where to buy etc etc for easier reference!
you can get it from most pharmacy, GNC etc.Cold_Zero said:does any one know of any Saw palmetto supplement that can be brought over the counter?
which product from biolyn do you suggest? seriously, except scalp benefit III, the rest of the product i am quite unwilling to try as the price is quite high for unproven product.rECKleSSfElla said:biolyn is more for preventive rather than treating balding dat is existing........but can try using their shampoo together wif mixo or propecia to enhance the effects..........
Isopropyl said:the brand name is all over this thread. haha.....
anyway, to make things easy. in singapore, there are 3brands that you can find easily. they are:
1)Rogaine (2% and 5%)
the original brand of minoxidil. price is high and i see no reason getting it.
2)Glower (2%, 3% and 5%)
generic minoxidil. 5% version cost $60.
3)Minoxi5 (in singapore i guess you only can find the 5% version)
cheapest brand i can find. Cost $57.75 without prescription. further more it come in 80ml which should provide you with extra 10days usage compare with other brand.
all pharmacy carry both rogaine and glower. some of gruadian carry Minoxi5.

firstly, there are no mention of what is the active components except the so call "Biotransformed peptides & saccharides" which leave you wonder what the hell is it.
secondly, there are no proper research paper on how the component work and how effective is it.
thirdly, there is no proper trial except one "July-October 2004 ACNielson trial". 3months trial? no details of the trial? it make you doubt the result of the trial.
also a number of other reasons like users review, who the hell is Doc Lee, funny information at the website and reply from management, lack of attention from other third party news etc etc.
all this make it seen like a typical snake oil seller.
yes. it will become the way it is before.zoolu said:what happens if you stop applying minoxidil ?
will your hair start to drop again?
Isopropyl said:yes. it will become the way it is before.
zoolu said:why like that?
is there no permanent fix for it?
sadly no. there is no cure for baldness at the moment. so any treatment you apply will lose it effect if you stop doing it.zoolu said:why like that?

Isopropyl said:you can get it from most pharmacy, GNC etc.
but saw palmetto does not seen to help. also, there are some indication that it might make hair loss worse. save your money if you intend to use it for hair loss. it just don't work. unless you are thinking of applying it tropically. it might be useful this way.

or you can try hair transplant. even with hair transplant, most people still need to use propecia and minoxidil to protect those hair that they got.
the closer cure reported is RU58841 or it newer version. it is a tropical drug like minoxidil. somehow, the company that produce it stop short of testing and marketing it. no one really know why. some people who is rich enough to ask chemist to produce it reported really good result.
another drug that might work really well is avodart. it like propecia but only better. propecia reduce 38% DHT on scalp. Avodart at 0.5mg reduce DHT on scalp around 50% and at 2.5mg dose, it reduce around 90% DHT on scalp. that should stop most hair loss. but due to some unknow reason, the company stopped testing the drug after phase II.
there are a number of good treatment out there. but most likely it won't be out anytime soon. even if it does, it might be out of reach for most people due to cost.
seriously you should drop the idea of biolyn. most likely it do nothing and no one know whether will it affect the result of minoxidil which i don't think so. stick with minoxidil and propecia is your best bet. if you want to try other stuffs other than proven treatment, i know some "homemake" stuffs that you can make with at least some indication that it will work. some are cheap and easy to make so it worth trying. let me know if you are interested.Botak_gan said:Anyone enjoyed success while using biolyn defense shampoo together with minoxidil5% + propecia??
