This is something I've thought about doing for a while and I just took the plunge. Topical minoxidil (MX) + tretinoin has been working quite well for my eyebrows but I've been meaning to get oral minoxidil for eyelash growth. I tried applying topical minoxidil straight on my eyelashes (against my better judgement), but it didn't really make any big difference even after months, probably because of my low SULT1a1 expression in my skin and I really don't want to apply tretinoin on my eyelids. I don't like LDOMX cause of potential cardiac complications but what are you gonna do. So then I thought:
22.49 GBP for 30 tablets containing 2.5mg MX -> 0.75 GBP per dose
That's a little pricey, however...

If you just buy minoxidil dissolved in ethanol and propylene glycol:
60 ml 5% solution for 15 GBP equivalent in my country -> 60ml * 50 mg MX/ml = 3000mg MX
Which means that for 15 GBP I can get 3000mg/2.5mg = 1200 doses for 15 GPB -> 0.0125 GBP per dose

SO I CAN JUST EAT TOPICAL MINOXIDIL TO GET IT ORAL FOR 0.75/0.0125= 60 TIMES CHEAPER THAN NORMAL DOCTORS PRESCRIBED LDOMX!
I just took 1ml of my 5% topical MX into a syringe, and placed it into a shot glass. I mixed it with 9 equal parts EtOH and stirred it up well. I took up 1 ml and squirted that shit into my mouth, this was 6 hours ago and I'm still alive. 2.5mg oral minoxidil for like 1 cent a day! THIS is the method.
