Finisteride

Minoxidil These include branded versions usually in minoxidil 2% and minoxidil 5% forms, as well as generic minoxidil (which tend to be lower in cost) and usually vary from 2% to 6%. General medical opinion is that women should not use Minoxidil stronger than 2% concentration. Some women do buy generic minoxidil in concentrations higher than 2%. The thing to remember here is that there is an increased risk of facial hair growth the higher the concentration. So, if you are considering doing this, start at a low concentration and gradually build up. Also, as always, only do this under the supervision of your medical practitioner.

At the time of writing no-one has as yet been able to fully explain how Minoxidil has an effect on slowing hair loss and promoting hair growth. Minoxidil normally induces new hair growth between 4 and 6 months of use. If it has not worked by 6 months it is probably not going to. It appears to begin slowing the hair loss process almost immediately but - there are no guarantees. You simply have to try it to see.
