Minoxidil (rogaine) causes cancer and is it the best product i can use for my regrow of hair.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No it does not!: Minoxidil is FDA approved. There is no significant risk of developing cancer due to use of this drug. if there was a risk it will be off the market very quickly. So forget about that risk.There are limited number of products for hair regrowth and they are only partially effective.
