I have read that some doctors suggest that it is safe for women to use a man's dose of rogaine. Is this true? I am not pregnant or nursing. My hair seems to be getting thinner on the crown of my head and especially around my forehead. I did take birth control but have stopped this recently, but the thinning of my hair occurred before I stopped my birth control pills. Thank you for any advice on this subject.
