Minoxidil price comparison UK: pack and delivery costs

A like-for-like worksheet for selected non-prescription topical minoxidil packs. Compare the same brand, concentration, format and quantity first; then check delivery, purchase terms and the source date.

Sons Minoxidil 5% solution · 1 × 60ml

Compare the same standalone Sons solution and one-bottle pack. Listed as approximately one month's supply when used as directed; this is not a treatment recommendation.

  • Chemist4U: pack £19.99, standard delivery £3.95, delivered total £23.94, per listed month £23.94. Checked 16 October 2026. Standard delivery £3.95 below £39; free over £39. The one-bottle order is below the threshold. Chemist4U: Sons 5% solution, 60ml Chemist4U: delivery and returns policy
  • Boots: pack £29.00, standard delivery £0.00, delivered total £29.00, per listed month £29.00. Checked 16 October 2026. Published standard delivery is free at £25 or more. The £29 pack qualifies under the listed policy. Boots: Sons 5% solution, 60ml

Sons Minoxidil 5% solution · 3 × 60ml

A separate three-bottle pack. The monthly equivalent divides the delivered pack cost by three; the entire pack is paid for up front. One verified retailer record is not a market-wide cheapest claim.

Regaine for Men 5% foam · 3 × 73ml

Compare this specific men's three-month foam pack only. Foam is not the same product or dosing format as solution. These records do not cover women's products, oral minoxidil or combination medicines.

Price methodology

Prices and delivery policies were read from official product pages on 16 October 2026. Delivered totals assume one listed pack, standard UK delivery and the published free-delivery threshold, without a voucher, subscription, loyalty points or other items in the basket. No order was placed and no postcode-specific checkout was tested. Availability, eligibility, medicine quantity limits, exclusions and final charges must be checked directly. This is a selected-retailer snapshot, not all UK pharmacies or live pricing.

What this comparison covers — and what it does not

The worksheet covers selected UK listings for Sons 5% solution and Regaine for Men 5% foam, with identical packs compared inside each group. It is not a single ranking across different formulations: a 60ml solution bottle and a 73ml foam can are different formats with their own directions and licensing.

These are men's products only. Women's labelled products, 2% solutions, oral minoxidil, unlicensed combinations and multi-medicine subscription bundles are not in this dataset. We will not reuse men's product age limits or directions for women. Absence from the table means not researched here, not unavailable in the UK.

Why delivered cost is more useful than the headline

For an order of one checked pack, Chemist4U's £19.99 Sons bottle falls below its £39 free standard-delivery threshold, so the recorded delivered total is £23.94. Boots' £29 bottle reaches its £25 standard-delivery threshold under the published product-page policy.

A monthly equivalent is the complete delivered pack cost divided by the listing's stated supply period, rounded to the nearest penny. It is not monthly finance, a recurring payment or a promise of how much you should use. Shipping upgrades, postcode restrictions and future price changes are not included.

Subscription headlines need a separate calculation

Sons' direct spray page showed a first-order 'from £16.50/month' subscription headline. It does not give a like-for-like delivered cost for a chosen pack without the up-front supply period, regular renewal and delivery fee. We therefore explain it on the Sons pages rather than presenting it as the cheapest pack.

Before joining a service, compare first charge and renewal charge separately, confirm automatic billing, note the next processing date, and read the cancellation and medicine-returns policies. Do not subtract a welcome code unless the exact product and order meet its terms.

Coupons, vouchers and discounts

No voucher code is applied to any row. A listed retailer price may already be below its own recommended retail price, but this worksheet does not turn that comparison into an extra saving or a guaranteed offer. Loyalty rewards are not deducted from cash cost.

If a verified offer becomes available, its product, pack size, minimum spend, eligibility and expiry should sit beside the code. Current links are direct official-source references, not unverified affiliate redirects.

Sons minoxidil product research

Suitability and product information

Hair loss has different causes. NHS advice is to see a GP to establish the cause before considering a commercial hair clinic. The men's products recorded here have product-specific age limits: Sons 5% solution is labelled for men aged 18–65, and Regaine for Men foam for men aged 18–49. They are not women's products. Always read the label and accompanying leaflet; ask a pharmacist or doctor about suitability, scalp conditions, heart or circulation problems, other medicines and side effects. This is price and service research, not a diagnosis or prescribing advice.

Common questions

Is this every UK minoxidil pharmacy or the guaranteed cheapest price?

No. This is a dated snapshot of selected official listings, not the entire market. Verify the same pack, delivery, availability and suitability at the source before deciding.

Are foam and solution interchangeable in the price table?

No. They are grouped separately by specific brand, strength, format and pack. The comparison makes no claim that one medicine is equivalent to or more effective than another.

Why can the total differ from my checkout?

We use published standard UK delivery for one listed pack. Your postcode, basket, eligibility, delivery upgrade, quantity limits or a changed policy can affect the final charge; no checkout was tested.
