aged 18-45 years with mild to moderate degrees
of hair loss, the following response to
minoxidil topical solution 2% was reported: 19%
of women reported moderate hair regrowth after
using minoxidil topical solution 2% for 8 months
(19% had moderate regrowth; 40% had minimal
regrowth). This compares with 7% of women
reporting moderate hair regrowth after using the

8 months (7% had moderate regrowth; 33% had
