Monoxidile topical solution usp 5. can we use on face to grown hair and when we are using on face any side effects, please conform ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Off-label: Minoxidil will stimulate hair growth on any skin surface that normally grows hair, including the face, but it is only approved for treatment of the scalp, so use on the face is "off-label." the most likely side effect would be an allergic or irritant rash due to one or more components of the solution.
