Possibly: If you are referring to topical Minoxidil or Rogaine (minoxidil) for women , it can be used safely for long term. This medicine unless you are allergic is well tolerated as local itching, irritation can happen to some people. Because it is over the counter these medicines tend to be safer than prescription medicines. Good luck and see your doctor for more concerns.

Hair loss: Identifying etiology of hair loss will help in treatment. Use of minoxidil for prolonged time could be safe but be mindful of compilications including recognizing any chest pain or swellings
