Vertex related question?

[spacemans]

Hi guys new member to the forum... been lurking for 1-2 years...

i have been on 1/5s of proscar for about a year+ with limited success and wanted to start on rogaine foam..
i got a 4 month supply of it but noticed on the directions that its only for use with the vertex.... and all of my loss is at the hairline and the front top part of my head....

should i still use this????

thanks!

Same here, have been using for a week so I'll see if it works i guess.

Yes. minoxidil helps with maintenance and regrowth wherever you apply it, if you're a responder.

so why does it say soley vertex on the directions?

<SIGH>

The FDA prevents them from making broader claims, simply because topical minoxidil was tested only on the vertex in the early studies.
