I have been using female Robaxin for several years when I first began noticing female pattern balding. I know it has worked for me since I started seeing hair filling in where it had previously disappeared.

I have noticed some signs of hair loss recently and am considering topical Minoxidil as a treatment. My primary concern is that Minoxidil has been known to cause hirsutism, which is already a major problem for me. I also know that in some cases Minoxidil has been reported to cause further hair loss, especially in the early phases of treatment. Should I use 2% Minoxidil or 5% Minoxidil, or should I try Finasteride first, which is used as a treatment for hair loss as well as hirsutism. I think that if I try Minoxidil, I probably should start with 2% solution first and if that does not help very much after several months, then try 5% solution. By the way, I am currently taking 100 mg/day of Spironolactone and may increase to 200 mg/day in the near future.

Am 75 Have been taking it for more than 20 years and it works. No side effects other than growth of every hair, a small price to pay. A great drug for hypertension.
