    TLDR Quick, accurate minoxidil measurement in hair loss products using photometric flow titration.
    This paper describes a photometric flow titration method for quickly and accurately determining the concentration of minoxidil in commercial hair loss products. The method involves a redox reaction between KMnO and minoxidil and was found to be faster and more efficient than chromatographic procedures. The study used Regaine and Neoxidil products, both of which contained 2% minoxidil, and recoveries from 97.6 to 102.8% were observed depending on the sample. The proposed method is a low-cost and easy alternative for determining minoxidil in commercial samples.

      community Foam minoxidil with Tretinoin (Which Tretinoin Strength?)

      in Minoxidil  2 upvotes 2 days ago
      The conversation discusses using foam minoxidil with tretinoin cream for hair loss, with users sharing experiences on tretinoin strengths of 0.025% and 0.05%. Some users report irritation with higher tretinoin concentrations and note that foam minoxidil may be less effective than liquid.

      A 24-year-old reported new hair growth on temples after 3.5 months of using topical minoxidil without shedding. They plan to add finasteride to maintain progress, as minoxidil alone may not be enough long-term.

      community Minoxidil question

      in Minoxidil  41 upvotes 1 week ago
      Minoxidil is being questioned for its effects on surrounding hair when applied to a receding hairline. The user is concerned it might worsen the appearance by causing nearby hair to fall out.

      community Oral minoxidil timeframe (any late responders)

      in Minoxidil  34 upvotes 1 week ago
      Oral minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride are being used to treat hair loss, but results are limited, leading to consideration of a hair transplant. The user plans to continue medication for another year before deciding on further action.
