Minoxidil Not For Front Receding Hairline ??

[JReinhal]

I've been using Rogaine for about 2.5 months now on my front receding hairline. As a result, Im starting to get lots of small, dark hair sprouts. So far so good. I recently ordered a 6 months supple of Kirkland's Minoxidil. Upon reading the box, I found the following:

" Not intended for frontal baldness or a receding hairline"

This is news to me. Is this accurate? If so, are there negative side effects associated with using Minoxidil on your front hairline?
Thank you

It is for a receding hairline. It's just the effects aren't permanent, without an anti DHT medication.

It will probably only grow it back for a few years. If your not an advanced balder (young/balding),
it might keep it around longer. But it's temporary.

Ya... I started with Rogaine and only Rogaine about 1 1/2 years ago, on both crown and hairline. It's kept the crown stable. My hairline is probably better than when I started. So it does work. I'm not an "advanced balder" though, just a mere amateur.
