Where online can I get Rogaine 5% without a prescription?

[Topper]

Hi

I live in Canada and have been on minoxidil 2% for about 20 months. I haven't tried Finasteride for various reasons.

I want to try Rogaine 5% but here in Canada you need a prescription to get it and I really don't have the time or the energy to get one.

Is there any way I could get the 5% from an American website without a prescription? I'm looking for a site that's been in use for awhile in order to make sure that my credit card number isn't ripped. A site with some good prices would help, too.

Thanks
Brian

You could try drugstore.com, might cost a little more but you are safe buying thru them and they ship internationally.

Topper - I bought some Xandrox from Dr. Lee's web site http://www.minoxidil.com. But he sells regular minoxidil, spironolactone and all sorts of other goodies. He waives the $20 consultation fee for those outside the U.S. and shipping is only $5 to Canada.

His own products are a little more pricey, but the regular minoxidil. is $20 for a one month supply. Another nice thing is he puts 'free cosmetic samples' on the shipping box so you don't have to worry about customs or duty. Took about a week to get here from order date to Toronto.

You can probably find Kirkland minoxidil cheaper somewhere else. I'm just reporting my experiences. If I wanted regular minoxidil. I'd probably just pick it up OTC on a trip to the States.

Some canucks get their generic 5% from ebay or http://www.wholesalehairproducts.com

There are lots of other sites online where you can get it. http://www.google.com/search?hair loss=en&ie=I ... minoxidil+

You may be better off going with one of the online retailers rather than ebay sellers, as some have disclaimers re: shipments to Canada. They aren't all that likely to be taken by customs, but it can happen.

Damn, that is cheap. Is the product any good here? They sell the Xandrox5 equivalent (Azelaic Acid 5% + Minoxidil 5%) for almost half the cost as Dr. Lee!

I'm from Canada too and I had no problems at all ordering online at http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie ... gory=31413

It costs about 34$ (can) for 4x20ml bottles (Kirland's minoxidil) + s&h. The seller is rich9969 . Anyway he might have more than 1 auction so just search for ''Rogaine 5%'' and you'll find it.

It might not be the Rogaine brand, but hey it comes a lot cheaper than the 2% Apotex minoxidil in Canada.

I live in the lower mainland in BC so I just go over to Bellingham and get it from there.

why is 5% not sold in Canada?

In South east asia region,

Doctors are only good in giving out presciption.

I went to a doctor and without even looking at my hair, straight away, prescribe minoxidil for me.

And you know what, starting minoxidil is one of the worst experience I am going thru right now....

I shed when i stop 2 months ago and I am now going on a 1 x daily application.

That's a good question; I asked my local drugstore about minoxidil 5% and their answer was that they could make some on the spot, though only with a prescription. Anyways, it was clear that they weren't used to prepare some often: they also couldn't even tell me how much they would sell it and in what size it would come in... I basically had to wait over 15 minutes while they asked the other pharmacists about it and eventually consulted their register. I had the same problem with Revivogen; nobody knew about it and it wasn't even in their database. :shock:


Try to figure this out: the brand making minoxidil (2%) here is called Apotex and it comes in 2x60 ml bottles for 70$ can. Now I can get 4x60 ml minoxidil 5% bottles off the net (Kirkland's) for approximately 40$ can, so the choice is obvious I'll be happy as long as the Canadian customs won't charge me any fees to let my minoxidil in from the US.


And BTW I felt quite uncomfortable being seen with Apotex's bottles and packaging; it has a really silly cartoonish close-up of a 50-year-old man with pepper-and-salt hair... and I'm only 22!! (sigh) :hairy:
