Is neutriderm hair enhancer lotion similar in action or constitution to Minoxidil?

It's not so much an issue of what dose works best but rather what dose is safe and still works. The two are very very different concepts. High doses of oral minoxidil work wonderfully for hair but are likely to cause a range of side effects.
