Women's Rogaine is a topical solution used to treat androgenic alopecia, or hereditary hair loss, in women.

Women's Rogaine is available without a prescription.

Using the supplied dropper, measure 1 mL of Women's Rogaine and apply it directly to the affected area of your scalp twice a day. Massage the solution throughout the area. Your hair must be towel dry before applying Women's Rogaine.

It will take at least four months of using Women's Rogaine twice a day as directed before you see significant results. If you stop using Women's Rogaine, you will begin to see hair loss again within three to four months.
