Can women use 5 % Rogaine
Hi everyone,
I'm back with another Rogaine question. Is it safe for women to use the stronger (5 percent) Rogaine that's marketed for men? I ask mainly because it sounds as if the foam is preferable to the original Rogaine for ease of application, less itchiness and irritation, etc., but the foam is only sold in the 5-percent formulation.
Why is the lower strength recommended for women? Will I endanger my health (or my hair!!) if I use men's Rogaine?
Thanks--this forum is great.
Generic liquid rogaine for men, restored my eyebrows!
I am a 59 year old woman and several years ago I noticed my eyebrows were falling out. It was very distressing, and took me about 1/2 hour everyday to try and make them look "real" with eyebrow makeup. About 8 months ago I began using a generic form of liquid rogaine FOR MEN, twice a day on my eyebrows. Result: My eyebrows have grown completely back and I no longer need eyebrow makeup! I've noticed lately that the hair on my head is getting thinner. So I ordered the brand name Rogaine Foam for MEN, and began using it 2 days ago. I don't have any bald spots, but I'd love thicker hair!
