Hi Ozbargainers,

Calling all those follically-challenged folks tonight - Yes balding guys (and girls), this is your Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Singles Day rolled into one!

If The Simpsons have told us anything, haired dudes get more EVERYTHING: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri7o8uOdWts

We recently hit a sales milestone with Generic Health (yes the fun folks over there called their business this), which unlocked new product categories to our pharmacy at really great pricing. I'm not sure how well this product will appeal to Ozbargainers.

I know the market is pretty cut throat for Minoxidil and regular users have their preferred suppliers, but given our low cost base (aka family slave labour and the fact I don't draw a wage from our business) I think I can get this product to market cheaper than anyone else in Oz.

I've had a quick look around the net and I think this is the lowest price in Oz for this Minoxidil 5% Extra Strength (generic alternate to Regaine) delivered express, as always Ozbargainer will tell me if this is a product I should stock as an ongoing line or if I should give it a hard pass.

ITEM:
Minoxidil 5% Extra Strength 3 Month Supply = $35.29 Delivered Express Post
Minoxidil 5% Extra Strenght 6 Months Supply = $60.99 Delivered Express Post
Minoxidil 5% Extra Strength 12 Month Supply = $119.99 Delivered Express Post

    I rather take my 1mg Finasteride every day before I spend money for something what maybe not works.

    • bboz on 16/04/2022 - 20:23

      Can you share what Finasteride is please? Is it a tablet?

      • Associatedjason101 @ PharmacySavings on 16/04/2022 - 20:25

          I used to ask my Dr. in Germany but they don’t want to take responsibility in case I cut it wrong. It’s not allowed in Germany and they don’t want to loose their license. What about Australia?

          Wouldnt it be better to just get a 1mg tab?

          Maybe overblown but the warnings on Fin tablets around women are pretty full-on from making contact with the tablets, especially if they are pregnant, seems like added risk?

          • Danneo on 17/04/2022 - 09:10

      Quick Google yields: the following:
      "The more common side effects that can occur with finasteride include:
      decreased sex drive.
      trouble getting or keeping an erection.
      ejaculation disorder.
      increase in breast size and tenderness.
      skin rash.

        Yeah people overblow those side effects and how common they are. From the research papers it’s less than 1%. Been on it myself for years and know many others and all are fine.

          Erectile dysfunction is common in older men.
          It's hard to know if its a side effect from an entire adulthood taking finasteride or just old age.
          Baldness is also a sex killer, so choose what you'd prefer to deal with.

            @Danneo: I guess you wondering if he spends money for no results? Perhaps the question is does it work well.

            +1

            @Danneo: Yes. The sooner you start the better. If you look like the person in the deal picture it would be too late unless you wanted to keep what you had left. I started using at first sight of losing hair when I was early 20s. It doesn't do anything for hair on your temples.

            I have never used Minoxidil/rogain all that stuff. I read some have experienced new growth from Finasteride but I can't comment on that personally. My hair is thicker

            Good luck

            • dinglejerry on 17/04/2022 - 07:58

              @cute as duck: If you've got some thinning in the crown but have been using minoxidil to keep those hairs active, can fin help fill out the area again? Understand it can take 1-2 years for results to show

              • cute as duck on 17/04/2022 - 08:39

                @dinglejerry: Yes! Your other options for that area is a hair transplant or use hair fibres such as Toppik to fill it up. The latter will be easy and look pretty natural.

                • dinglejerry on 17/04/2022 - 10:53
                  +1

                  @cute as duck: Honestly my hair is pretty thick elsewhere so it's not that big a deal (no temple recession for example) - I've used monox for awhile and even though there's thinning it's kept the hairs alive if that makes sense. Now tried fin 3-4x a week (per hair loss channel) the last 5 months and hoping that will just thicken the hairs a bit - so thank for the feedback.

                  Hair fibres are ok but I find they do come off fairly easily eg if i run my fingers through my hair

                  • cute as duck on 17/04/2022 - 11:15

                    @dinglejerry: About the hair fibres - make sure you use hair spray. Not the Toppik hairspray but the big can stuff. And don't apply too much because you can see the stuff sitting on your naked scalp.

                    I never liked Minoxidil because it's too much effort in the mornings and hard to style hair afterwards. Plus once you stop the hair falls out so it's a vicious cycle.

                    Finasteride you should be using daily. The 5mg tablets you should be quartering so it is 1.25mg per day. Get a pill cutter for accuracy. Also when getting your script filled, ask for generic Finasteride at Chemist Warehouse. From memory it is like $25 bucks, much cheaper than Propecia (expensive branded Finasteride)

                    Good luck 🙂

                    • dinglejerry on 17/04/2022 - 11:19

                      @cute as duck: Yes I do use a pill cutter.

                      If you check out the hair loss show - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekeRPx0TJqE - these doctors recommend 3x a week to minimise risk of sides. Because my hair loss isn't too bad I decided to go with that.

                      If you know of a specific hair spray you recommend let me know.

                      This one barely cut a pill in half clean 🤣

                      When I used Finasteride EOD I got massive sides, when daily it got better for me.

                      • cute as duck on 19/04/2022 - 12:58

                        @[Deactivated]: I know what you mean about the pill cutters. To be honest I just end up using scissors most of the time and do my best to quarter them but the dosage is never the same and it's not a biggie.

    Does this work for front of hair and foam vs liquid?

    • greatlamp on 16/04/2022 - 21:06
      +1

      Minoxidil shows less benefit for the front of scalp, so you will always see the warning that it is 'only' for the crown area. This isn't true, you should try it yourself.

      You need to give it at least 3 months trial. Minoxidil can cause fluid retention in the face (reversible on discontinuation), otherwise it is very benign. In high doses it could technically affect your blood pressure and heart rate, but that dosage would be far beyond what you should be using

      The liquid has better absorption into the skin due to inclusion of propylene glycol. The foam is more convenient, not better

      At this price, it will be the liquid

      • [Deactivated] on 17/04/2022 - 01:24

    I have been on finesteride now Dutasteride pills for 20+ years. No side effects at all. If you plan to have kids stop for a week before you start trying.

    You need to apply Minoxidil(twice a day six months at least) to bring back what you have lost(crown) and Dutasteride to keep what you have. So starting with both will give better results.

    If you have lost it a while ago then don't expect all of it to come back.

    Its been 5 years that I have been using minoxidil but i have decided to stop it now. My face looks old and my eyes looks tired all the time. Sunken eyes and puffy eyes are the common side effects.

    It does help you to maintain hair loss. You will continue losing hair but at a very low rate. My brother and i started losing hair at the same time. I started using minoxidil but he didn't. He is completely bald now. i still have about 70 % of my hair but the strands are thinner than before.

      I have never heard of this a a side effect.

      I've heard of people with these sides on the forums, it happens.

        I haven't heard of it either, is there any way to tell before you do too much damage, is it reversible?

        I mean over 5 years you are going to age a bit, so not sure how to distinguish ageing from sides?

          I read about people getting worse wrinkles from it

          I'm not sure if it's instant or happens over the time but I'm sure within 6-12 months you'd know or people would say something if you looked different

      Get it online, you need a script in Aus.

    Don't wash hair. Or reduce the frequency. I have lots of friends who reduced the hair which were falling by doing this.
