Can I use men's 5% Rogaine foam instead of women's 5% Rogaine foam?

5% minoxidil is 5% minoxidil regardless of how it is packaged and marketed. If one is cheaper then go for it! Consultation with a hair loss specialist is always recommended to assure you are doing everything possible to treat your hair loss. Best wishes!

Hello,You  should have a thorough workup including the following:
Trichoscopy- identify type of hair loss Extensive history and labs- rule out other forms of hair lossWe use ARTAS with regenerative techniques with women such as Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and growth factors to help improve overall results.

The concentration is the same, so the results should be the same. I usually recommend a combination of Rogaine with prp and progesterone for best results.  I suggest seeing a hair loss expert to evaluate and go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options.

Women’s 5% Rogaine and Men’s 5% Rogaine are both 5 % minoxidil. They are identical. There is both marketing and legislative pressures that have facilitated both products being created. But they are the same.

Dear refinej, both the Rogaine for men and woman will be the exact same, as the concentration in both is 5%. It will not make any difference at all.

Have you tried any other non-surgical treatments such as PRP or laser therapy in combination with Rogaine? Treatments can complement and work better.

Clearly the greater the concentration of the Rogaine, the more effective it is and that is why many men use the 5% woman's version
