Can I use men’s liquid Rogaine once a day as a substitute for the women’s foam? Will it provide similar results? (photo)

Question

I am a woman in her early 40s experiencing gradual thinning. I find the women’s Rogaine foam hard to apply on my long hair. Can the men’s liquid solution Rogaine be used once a day as a substitute for the foam?

Joyce Davis, MD · Answer

If the Rogaine foam is not easy for you to use, then switch to the liquid form of the medication.  This comes in both 2% and 5% strengths.  The foam is a 5% product, so stay with the 5% liquid.

Sara Wasserbauer, MD - Account Suspended · Answer

Both the men’s and women’s Rogaine can be used. Men’s 5% and Women’s 2%. The men’s once a day will be just fine.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

Minoxidl 5% or 2% are both interchangable. You can switch between the two especially if you think that the 2% is not strong enough
