Many people did it over the years. I think you can still dig out some of those old threads on this forum.
Yes, it worked but it's been mentioned that RU works better on its own - first you apply RU, wait 30 min or so and then you put minoxidil.

sorry if off topic--but you do that with all topical anti androgen and minoxidil? Topical anti androgen then later the minoxidil?
I have been doing it opposite--i put minoxidil on for at least 1-4 hours or more than follow it with topical spironolactone/estrodial blend i have. No idea if that is right or wrong.

Not really, I actually put minoxidil first just like you. Some people say it's better to put anti androgen first. I actually think it doesn't matter what goes first. I've been experimenting with it and I didn't notice any change.
Just do whatever is convenient for you.
In the post above I meant to say use RU on its own no matter what goes first minoxidil or RU.
When I first started RU in June I had intense ball ache to the point i had to lay in bed. It also destroyed my libido and erections for a few months but I was also recovering from finasteride at the time. I just started RU again this week and have been sides free. This time I got it from WHP. People have had their cb tested and apprentely brotzu got s-equal from them so I don't think its fake

Good for you. I had pretty mild pain but it was uncomfortable.
I'm thinking to start RU again.

2.5 months and nothing for me either. I understand that it's a very short time to judge and will persist for at least 12 months before giving up on it.
Although right now I'm doubting whether the drying by 98%-proof alcohol on vellus hair may do more harm than good?
There has been no shedding either, but I guess it's not always expected when RU is additional to the regimen.
Guys I need some advice about this batch of RU from Kane Shop. The first batch I had worked well, reduced shedding by half, but I could never use more than 0.5ml (25mg) otherwise I'd get a raised heart rate and flutter.
I got another batch a few weeks ago and for starters, the texture is different. Before I used to tip it off the spoon when making batches but now I have to kinda brush it off as it's 'stickier'. My hair loss has been increasing so yesterday I used 0.8ml (40mg) and didn't experience any heart sides which suggests it's less active.
Should I email the Kane Shop? Get a batch elsewhere?

I have always orders from kane and other sources with no problems but I order now from chemyo because it's cheaper and faster.
Batches have had always different smell or slightly different mesh / particle size. But they always worked perfect for me . Only thing important is that batches need to be 99℅ pure. Meaning there is less than 1% impurities which usually is solvents etc . That is what you smell.
Sheddings are often induced by stress and oxidative stress this is why I have strong anti oxidants in my regime to prevent seasonal sheddings and stress induced sheddings. Everyone should have strong anti oxidants in their regime.

Out of interest do you guys think there's any point in me, someone's almost 3 months into finasteride using RU for the next six months until Fidia releases? My theory is that it will give me piece of mind knowing that all my androgen receptors are blocked until then, but in terms of actual practical application it seems like a bad idea to go on a treatment for 6 months only to swap to another.

I wouldn't add RU if you are already on finasteride.
Unless you are losing hair on finasteride.
Imo, it is a good idea. We don´t know when Fidia releases or how effective it really is. It is crucial to keep as many follicles alive until then.

guys for me RU was a huge deception , the thing was fake .
But if you claim that work maybe i will buy it again . But this is really expensive and i barely see evidence the treatment work .
And my first experience with it was not good . Got it tested and was legit fake

Can someone link me to the research where RU was tested on humans? All I'm finding is like rats lol.
