foligain foam....generic version of rogaine foam

4 awesome repairs with SMG
Has anyone tried this stuff....its cheaper than regular regaine/rogaine foam in the UK and can be bought for £29 for 3 months supply at biovea here in the UK

Is it the same stuff as the original but just generic? or are there any differences?

It has PROPYLENE GLYCOL in which is the same skin irritant as in the liquid. think Regaine has the patent for the delivery of minox in a foam without the P.G so when it runs out there will be cheaper viable foams available also like propecia when its patent runs out next year.

The foam came out in 2007 so I would estimated 2017-2020,bit of a wait !.Sure we will have something else good invented before then.
