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

Asked By:refinej in Illinois City, IL

I've been using women's 5% Rogaine foam for the last year with good results. However, I can purchase the men's Rogaine foam for about half the price of the women's version. Is there a reason I shouldn't use the men's variety?
