    TLDR Minoxidil in Espumil foam stays stable for at least 90 days at room temperature.
    The study aimed to determine the stability of minoxidil in Espumil Foam Base, a hydroalcoholic compounding vehicle designed to minimize greasiness, itching, burning, and contact dermatitis. Minoxidil was compounded into a 50-mg/mL solution and stored in a plastic foam-activating bottle at room temperature. Stability was assessed over 90 days using a validated high-performance liquid chromatography method. The results indicated that minoxidil remained stable for at least 90 days when stored at room temperature and protected from light.

      Minoxidil alone is not enough for long-term hair growth without a DHT blocker like finasteride or dutasteride. Users suggest trying lower doses of finasteride or switching to dutasteride to manage side effects and improve results.

      Switching from minoxidil with propylene glycol to a glycerin-based solution helped reduce scalp buildup and dandruff. Using ketoconazole shampoo and a scalp massager also improved scalp health.
