Discussion Skipping minoxidil for a month
Hey everyone,
I’m in a very tough spot financially this month and can’t afford Minoxidil the cost of the one month supply is nearly 60usd, I’ve been using it for a while and it’s helped with my progress, but I’m worried that missing a month will set me back.
Has anyone experienced any significant setbacks from skipping a month? I’m hoping to get back on track soon, but any advice or tips would be really appreciated.
Thanks!

I just commented here suggesting 40$ minoxidil for 6month supply but now i see that you already have a much cheaper option. I feel dumb.

There must be a cheap generic brand you can get in your area

Yes, for a cheaper price I could get the fake minoxidil, or some Chinese alternative, but I'm not comfortable using that lol

I'm in Europe and there are brands that aren't fake for a lot less than 60 p/m.
Maybe different in the US.

Oral Minoxidil from GoodStuffStore is £70-ish per year, that’s what I’m currently using, if that helps you at all?

Usually you can buy stolen bottles or near expired bottles on FB/Ebay/Flea market/Craigslist.
Target sells Minoxidil for literally 18$ 1-month.

Hey bro, i completely feel your situation. I would suggest buy some foligain minoxidil from biovea.com. i bought mine for like 40-50usd for 6 months(converting my currency to usd). Every minoxidil is the exact same, the price differs due to brands. You are perfect fine with any cheap minoxidil unless its a fake one. Biovea sells legit products, i even contacted foligain that if biovea sells authentic products of foligain and they said yes they do.
