A member asked:
Can rogaine (minoxidil) be used for hair growth on scalp hair as well for women how is it used? is it good for women?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rogaine (minoxidil): For women and men, use rogaine (minoxidil) for men because it is 5% and is the strongest. Rogaine (minoxidil) is applied twice a day but one you start using rogaine (minoxidil) you will have to use it the rest of your life otherwise the hair will stop growing and will fall out.
