Can women use Men's Rogaine?

Women's Rogaine contains only 2% monoxidil, while the men's formula contains 5%. Just wondering if it's safe for a woman to use, and if it would yield better or faster results?

    Check with a doctor. I'm not sure if Rogaine is one, but some of the men's hair growing formulas contain chemicals unsafe for women. I don't recall which ones but I remember seeing one of those commercials where they said women should not even touch the medication.

    WELL I SAY NO....

    Because Rogaine themselves says:

    Rogaine For Men

    Do not use if:

    you are a woman

    your amount of hair loss is different than that shown on the side of this carton or your hair loss is on the front of the scalp. 5% minoxidil topical solution is not intended for frontal baldness or receding hairline.

    you have no family history of hair loss

    your hair loss is sudden and /or patchy

    you do not know the reason for your hair loss

    you are under 18 year of age. Do not use on babies and children.

    your scalp is red, inflamed, infected, irritated, or painful

    you use other medicines on the scalp
