Hi Ozbargainers,

Happy Easter everyone - We've had quite a run on RESTOR (Minoxidil) https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/894782 which is great, but I've had a few peeps very loyal to our original Generic Health brand of Minoxidil ask for a restock of that brand at a reasonable price, so I've bought a large consignment of the original brand which I will continue selling alongside RESTOR. I hadn't actually realised we'd completely run out of the Gen Health brand stock on our website, so apologies for letting all of the stock run out - Its a few cents dearer per week than the RESTOR brand but for those who have had great results with our original brand and want to stick with what they know - this is the restock!

Item: Minoxidil Extra Strength 5%, 2x 3 Month Supply Bottles = 6 month supply
Price: $58.99
Code: Not required
Delivery: FREE including tracking (please select the free shipping option at checkout).
Link: https://pharmacysavings.com.au/products/minoxidil-extra-stre…

In before 100x people tell me I have had an alternate brand cheaper (per day) before - yes I acknowledge this and have also restocked that deal tonight, at the original deal price, very happy to offer the RESTOR at the same price it was originally offered on Ozb, https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/894782

The Ozb favourites are again relisted:

    Im still in my 2nd bottle from last order, honestly the recommended dosage of 1ml covers a big area, i only use .5ml as im targeting the most stubborn temple area

    Using with finasteride i saw hair first time in my life growing there which kinda blew my mind and also freaked me out abit, just a tad 4 months 2x a day into it, with derma stamp recently

    • reactor-au on 17/04/2025 - 20:49

      Those first bum fluff hairs are like witnessing a true miracle lol

      I did the whole derma pen thing for a few months and that did help as well but honestly, I found it more difficult being consistent with the derma needling every 10-14 days than the minoxidil.

      Currently just doing minoxidil 1x a day with 0.5mg finasteride, I plan to get back to the derma pen again at some point.

    • muwu on 17/04/2025 - 22:28

      Finasteride is doing the overwhelming majority of the heavy lifting.

      Medications are not very effective at the temples, most people will experience no or little effect at the front. The best result is the vertex (top-and-back).

      Medications function as more preventive than curative, i.e. retarding further loss rather than effecting "re-growth."

  • bargaino on 17/04/2025 - 19:55

    Will this work on my boyish-looking chest?

    I hear some people use it on their eyebrows. Is that serious, or are they yanking my chain?

    • Associatedjason101 @ PharmacySavings on 17/04/2025 - 20:05

      Yes - works on eye brows (and filling out holes in beards),

      Wash palms thoroughly after application.

    • MBix on 17/04/2025 - 20:12

      Can confirm a couple times had this roll down the front of my head and reach my eyebrow before I could catch throughout the start of this year and last week had a super long eyebrow hair that very clearly stood out from the others. Maybe a coinky dink but I've never had that before in my life

      • muwu on 17/04/2025 - 22:29

        The sporadic long eyebrow hair is certainly a characteristic of ageing, not the minoxidil. Welcome to the long descent!

      The money part applied when it was under patent, but it is cheap now. Come on, $10/month?!

      • DealHunted on 18/04/2025 - 06:35

        How? The Finasteride that I get from CW cost me $20 a month.
        Is there another generic brand that I can use instead?

        • muwu on 18/04/2025 - 09:17
          +2

          I think @bargaino is referring to this topical minoxidil, and ~$10-15/bottle is about as economical as you can get.

          Finasteride can be had for $17-18 per packet of x30 5mg tablets, which can be quartered and dosed for a 1mg or less daily equivalent. The math on that works out to about $0.1/day or $3.50/mo.

          Minoxidil can be had for ~$33 per bottle of x100 10mg tablets, which can be quartered or halved for daily dosing of 2.5-5mg dosing. The math on that works out to about $0.16/day or $5/mo.

          • Wolfenstein98k on 18/04/2025 - 09:51

            @muwu: My 30x 5mg was about $37 for reference. Whereas generic 1mg was 28x for $17-18.

            Were you thinking of the price for 1mg?

            • muwu on 18/04/2025 - 09:54

              @Wolfenstein98k: $20 delivered from HealthyLife (formerly SuperPharmacy), after a recent price increase

              • Wolfenstein98k on 18/04/2025 - 10:39

                @muwu: Well that's annoying!! My local pharmacy didn't ask or offer alternatives.

                Thanks.

                  @Wolfenstein98k: Wouldn't expect them too, they're a business making a marginal of profit off your transaction. You have to shop around 😇

                  • Wolfenstein98k on 18/04/2025 - 11:46

                    @muwu: I get that but in any other shop, you can see the options and choose by price. With a pharmacy, you ask for the product and they come back give minutes later with it - there's no indication that you could choose another or anything like that.

                    As you can tell, I'm new to prescriptions haha

                      @Wolfenstein98k: Oh right. What you bought for $37 or so would have been a generic and the cheapest option at that pharmacy (the pharmacist usually asked if you want generic or a name brand). HealthyLife (formerly SuperPharmacy) just has cheaper generics because of whoever their distributor is, they seem fairly unique in the market in that sense.

      Short styling for androgenetic alopecia is one option.

      Another is using medications that are effective, styling appropriately, and enjoying a couple of more decades if you value it personally. This is my experience, I am thankful we have this option.

      My head looks like an alien, unfortunately. Don't have a round skull. Have you seen the before and after of those guys with "hair systems"? They go from looking like tired, aged old men to very well aged gentlemen. It's had me believing majority of men look better as they age were it not for the lack of hair plaguing most of us. If I can put it off longer I'll definitely do it, the extra money you save won't change your life and will probably end up being spent on eneloops or something.

      • Balls on 18/04/2025 - 11:20

        This! this is so true, the f it and go bald is just an excuse for people giving up, people literally treat you differently with more hair.

    • Wolfenstein98k on 18/04/2025 - 09:44

      Some people look awful bald and they don't "identify" as it, their identity includes their image.

      If you're lucky enough to have good facial hair genetics and a round head, you're probably fine bald (if you want that).

      But I'm tall and lean, and I have a lumpy oval head. If I shaved it off I'd look like an old alien.

    What would happen if you took it orally?

    • Vancomycin 1000mg on 18/04/2025 - 00:28

      I take them orally, sometimes you get palpitations and i had chest pain. Its known side effect.

      • worrierwan on 18/04/2025 - 00:46

        But what if you took this product orally?

        • muwu on 18/04/2025 - 09:00

          The topical solution is a formulation intended only for the skin, it contains ingredients to suspend the minoxidil and have it applied and active at the follicle.

          The oral form of minoxidil comes in tablets, available as Loniten in Australia. You can get 10mg and quarter or half them to dose as an oral alternative to the topical, typically 2.5 - 5mg daily for men and 1.25 - 2.5mg for women. It's at least as effective as topical but much better long-term compliance. It has much greater systemic effects than topical, but at these small doses side-effects are rare - the "common" (<5%) are minor peripheral oedema and increased body hair growth, and the rare are palpitations and dizziness, the exceedingly rare and only at higher doses (also available in 20mg and 40mg) is pericardial effusion.

        • Wolfenstein98k on 18/04/2025 - 09:46

          Check out tressless on Reddit. A lot of people do this because it's very cheap, but no one qualified would advise it.

      • muwu on 18/04/2025 - 09:05

        Hey @Vanc, at what does of oral minoxidil did you experience chest pain?

        (N.B. I take 5mg daily, no side-effects)

          Some people get them at 2.5, others report no consequence of 10. Very variable.

          2.5 seems safe for almost all, 5 for many.

    @op any deals on the foam? this one causes severe itching and dandruff flakes

    • muwu on 18/04/2025 - 13:41

      Common complaint with the liquid, it contains propylene glycol in the formulation that gives some people a reactive dermatitis, typically self-limiting. Apparently some compound chemists can prepare the liquid without it, at greater cost.

      Note that the foam is less effective, a lot of the active minoxidil gets caught in the hair shaft (dead tissue) and not at the base where the follicle is and where it has it's effect.

      Kind of stuck for topical options if you can't tolerate the liquid. I personally recommend changing over to the oral minoxidil, starting at 1.25mg and going from there.

      • starbearer on 18/04/2025 - 14:54

        thanks for the detailed reply!

        I did try the oral. it gave me excess body hair, even in areas where there wasn't hair before (E.g. outside of the armpits)

        would derma rolling/stamping have better effects with the foam? to allow it to seep into the scalp?

        • Wolfenstein98k on 18/04/2025 - 15:33

          It's more about contact - the foam just mostly gets caught in the hair.

        • muwu on 18/04/2025 - 15:42
          +1

          Yeah, maybe that would be your best option for topical minox now, foam with microneedling. The later is best done in a professional setting and finding a practitioner that does it well. That comes at a cost, and still only a very small benefit added. Most at-home options (cheaper) are ineffective, and potentially introduce the risk of follicular trauma, so I don't recommend anyone do it (maybe if you buy the pricier equipment and dedicate yourself to training).

          At this stage, if no topical liquid and no oral minox, I'd advise moving to oral finasteride. If your hair loss is still mild and not progressing too quickly, I like to start patients on 1mg x3/wk Mon/Wed/Fri (daily equivalent of ~0.4mg) and consider up-titrating every 3-6mo depending on effect and in the absence of side-effects. If your hair loss is at least moderate and progressing, I advise straight to 1mg/daily and it will be effective but gauge whether there are any side-effects (1-2% of users, which normalises after 18mo).
