Can you give me the exact amounts in the compound you had made that contained 5% Minoxodil, diprolene, and tretonin? How long before you saw results?

Thanks!

Okay, I was trying to find an old post on a different website where I listed the ingredients of which I recorded right from the prescription. I believe that the diprolene and the tretonin were both .05 stregths, and the minoxidil was definetely the 5% strength. Your doctor would probably know if you gave him the three ingredients that make the compound. I started noticing results right about six months and it has continued to get better. My dermatologist told me that she has prescribed this to a number of woman who weren't getting positive results with anything else. The best part is that you can use the 5% strength of minoxidil(Rogaine) without any of the harshness that it causes. Your scalpt doesn't get inflammed in the least because of the diprolene which is used for skin ailments such as excema. The tretonin (retin a) is to help stimulate the follicles. Let me know if you need any additional info.
