This study measured the solubility of minoxidil in various solvents, finding the highest solubility in methanol and lowest in water, with solubility correlating to temperature.
This study reported that applying Serum WS Biotin, a water-soluble form of D-Biotin, daily for 3 months significantly reduced hair shedding and increased hair strength in volunteers with moderate to excessive hair shedding, while showing good skin compatibility.
The user has been mixing finasteride with stemoxydine for hair loss and is considering switching to a less expensive product with a different ingredient list. They are questioning if the new product's higher water content compared to alcohol will affect the finasteride's solubility.
The user is attempting to create a topical finasteride solution by mixing crushed finasteride pills with minoxidil but is facing solubility issues. They are unsure if the finasteride has dissolved properly and are seeking advice on whether it is safe to use and if there is a solution to the problem.
Mixing finasteride pills with stemoxydine is not recommended due to potential solubility and safety issues. It's advised to consult a healthcare provider for professionally formulated topical finasteride products.
RU-58841 does not dissolve well in common Minoxidil solutions due to water content, requiring a 70/30 ethanol/propylene glycol mix. Users report using separate solutions for RU-58841 and finasteride/Minoxidil for better results.
RU58841 is more effective when mixed with isopropyl alcohol instead of minoxidil, as water in minoxidil degrades RU58841. Applying RU58841 separately from minoxidil, with an hour gap, enhances hair growth results.
