Could you emulate VDPHL01 by just using topical minoxidil?

I did a little experiment a few months back when I wanted oral minoxidil by just drinking topical minoxidil


I stopped it though because I was afraid of pericardial effusion, which is a known, albeit rare side effect of oral minoxidil. But now we will soon have VDPHL01, which is a more effective and safer version of oral minoxidil. Basically it's just XR oral minoxidil which makes it effective longer and gives shallower blood plasma concentrations, which mitigates the side effects on the cardiovascular system.

But now, in my infinite ingenuity I've had another revelation, only comparable to the likes of Moses standing on fucking Mount Sinai, as if the lord himself descended from heaven, and asked me:

What if we just pour topical minoxidil in a jug of water, and slowly drink that bitch over the waking hours of the day? Isn't that pretty much exactly like VDPHL01?

Lmk your thoughts

isn’t it diluted with ethanol so you’ll be basically getting drunk throughout the day? :forcedsmile:

Lol that’s true but I think that the quantities are negligible. You’re gonna drink 5ml of liquid over a whole day, even if it were 100k% ethanol it’d be like drinking a quarter of a shot

Actually it’s 0.1 ml of liquid, so it’s basically nothing, it’s like slowly drinking 1 gulp of beer over the whole day

not a bad idea but exactly how reliable is it, do you know the concentration you will need to ingest

I have a friend who drinks it, he is still alive and says its much cheaper that way + still effective. I havent been on minoxidil for a few years, I was on dut for a month or two but ran out. Getting back on it ASAP.

I'd say if ur balding, defo take minox but also hop on dut / finasteride too, minox alone won't prevent you from balding, it kind of just helps you to grow hair, not to mitigate hair loss.

drick det absolut inte, vad I helvette bram:02Pat: Kör låg dos oral minox, om du har hjärt och blodtrycksproblem i familjen så kör du topical minoxidil med tretinoin punkt, kör dut om du tappar hår

och som du säger nya minoxidilen kommer va nice som fan när den kmr:love:

This MIGHT be the method dude

The thing is my hair is pretty good, no real signs of balding yet. It's my eyebrows that are pretty sparse and thin, so I'm doing tretinoin + topical minoxidil + dermarolling. But dut is in the cards cause my dad is bald, my brothers are completely fine though in their late 30s without ar5 inhibs.

Haha men det borde väl fungera i teorin? Kör redan tret + minox på ögonbrynen men tänkte att man kunde ta det till nästa nivå med oral minox.

Längtar som fan. Har hört att de sista kliniska studierna kommer slutföras i slutet av 2027 eller 2028 och kommer säkert kunna finnas tillgänglig i USA kort därefter. Frågan är bara om mesarna på läkemedelsverket kommer nappa...

I also use the highest dose of oral min available and it’s shit.

5mg in the morning 2.5mg at night. The pills are formulated to break down slower it’s paired with carriers too. Don’t drink topical some guy got kidney injury a few years back fucking stupid.

In the studies they do 8.5 mg pills once or twice daily (although there's not really any notion of "doses" by doing the diy vdphl01, since you're sipping the water all throughout the day) and the XR lasts 24 hours, which is pretty much impossible to get if you're gonna drink it. The most reasonable is probably 16 hours a day, so I thought that I'd maybe try 0.1ml of 5% minox (contains 5mg pure minoxidil) diluted in like 4 liters of water that I'll drink throughout the day.
