Will minoxidil work for a man of my age?

pomparelli
I am almost 58 years of age and I have a pretty good head of hair. I have had a bit of a receding hairline (above temples) for many years, but that's not a big concern for me at all. In the past two years or so I have noticed thinning at the crown of my head. Again, I still have enough hair to "cover" the thinning area. I bought minoxidil but I'm wondering if it will work for a man of my age.
