I'm really worried about my hair thinning and I've heard about minoxidil for hair growth. Can you tell me which pharma company's minoxidil 5% is best for women? Also, how long should I use it to see real results?

The minoxidil 5% solution for women, commonly used for hair growth, is available under various brand names such as Rogaine or Kirkland. It is advisable to use it consistently for at least 4 to 6 months to see noticeable results. The recommended dosage is usually 1 milliliter applied to the affected scalp area twice daily.
