Stability of Cetirizine in solution is enhanced by adding a weak acid such as phosphoric acid or even Vinegar. I am in pharma and will make a solution and tell you how much acid, I will use ordinary Vinegar, to adjust the pH to 4-5. Do not add alcohol to your solution but use propylene glycol...

Morr F is an improvement over alcohol/PEG solution like Minoxidil but there are better formulations. MorrF I would use if no alternative but fairly crude formulation. A user will get systemic absorption with it, how much? I would have to check the study. Okay, I believe the Morr F study...

Topical works better in a liposomal base because of little systemic absorption. H&W make a good product as I do (PV Pharmacy Inc) here in the U.S. and no wait...... I would like to know more about the effectiveness of Minoxoidil 10 and 15%.

See my posts.....you have to use a liposomal Finasteride or FNA as they call it.

**A couple of comments. First agree with you what is the logic of a 2.5%? If some studies use 0.5% or even 0.25% why go to 2.5% which is 25mg per ml! Well, one reason is it works but the higher the concentration the more likelihood of sexual side effects unless there is a way to prevent...

I have had amazing results from Finasteride but from what I read the earlier you start the more effective it is. Get a nice topical solution in a lipophilic base and avoid the side effects. I use 1% almost nightly and have a nice poof of hair. Sorry, there is not much else besides Minoxidil...

I hope this response is not too civil on this deterioration of a blog but I can say high doses of Finasteride had me growing hair in abundance on the top of my head, however, with side effects so I quit it. That says something about finasteride. I now use finasteride 1% soln with minoxidil 5% and am having a...

Dr Wong of Hasson/Wong says Finaseride 2.5% used every other day works or if you prefer gives good results. I presume that in a lipophilic base systemic absorption according to reports is less. Surely there is some absorption. Here is what I would to, get some finasteride 2.5% topical solution from a...

Here is the ultimate based on my experience. I don't have time to respond to questions so do your own research. 1. Finasteride topical soln 1% daily or 2.5% every other day with Minoxidil 5% 2. MSC Exosomes with a scaffolding (amniotic solution is best, PRP second best), Repeat every 2-4...

So qs (or qb) with what? What is the inert ingredient? I might guess a hydroalcoholic mixture?

Topical effects are not the same as taking a medication orally in some situations. I believe the I have read dermarolling is the real deal. 1.5mm once a week followed by topical VPA. Skip other meds right after dermarolling. Don't forget Castor Oil 70%/ Isopropyl Alc 30% applied to the scalp...

Sodium Valproate is what we call in chemistry the salt Valproic Acid. Once Sod Valproate is put in a solution of water or what is compatible it becomes Valproic Acid which means Valproic Acid is a solution.

Yea, good post on Zinc Py. I use it weekly for dandruff and no hair problems that I am aware of. Genotoxicity and cytotoxicity it may be but not sure it has affected my hair growth negatively. I believe Zinc has some other properties such as anti DHT. I will continue to use but won't over do it.

Yea, everyone has an opinion.....I had horrible seborrhea dermatitis last summer. Gross hairloss. I started using a Zinc anti dandruff shampoo. My hair has flourished since then and fallout seems to be minimal. I do not know of the mechanism except the hair yeast (fungus) malassezia does...

Sodium valproate is salt form of Valproic Acid. When Sod Valproate is dissolved in water (or other solvents) it becomes valproic acid. Sod Valproate is the dry form of V.P.A.
