Here is an interesting new study that shows the efficacy of minoxidil 2% and 5% for FPB:

weird, this study shows that woman received maximum benefits from minox at 16 weeks. But in studies on men the max benefits seems to be reached at about 1 year. Anyone have a possible explanation for the large difference?

Hello madox, and welcome!

Perhaps it has to do with the level of androgens (men having more so that the minox has to work harder in men perhaps??)

I'll dig into it some more to see what I can find.

Regards,
Sam
