A member asked:
Is minoxidil safe for female? is it true that it increases facial and body hair growth in female?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lower strength: Minoxidil is safe in females but is used in the half strength of the male version of the Rogaine (minoxidil). However, hair growth in unwanted areas can still occur, even at the lower strength. You may have to stop application if unwanted hair growth occurs.
