Is Rogaine and Minoxidil the same thing?

Filed under Hair Regrowth Treatment

Wondering if the active ingredient in Rogaine is Minoxidil?
Because I bought the COSTCO (Kirkland brand) of
Minoxidil ( 5% extra strength) for my husband.

After reading the insert it illustrates that it should be used on what they call the “vertex” of the scalp ( basically the crown of the head)
the problem is …
My husbands hair loss is around the front of the hairline from the forehead up on either side like a V.
I’m wondering if this kind of Hair regrowth treatment will work for him.
When I looked up Rogaine online it doesn’t specify an area on the head like the Minoxidil does…
any ideas
suggestions
experiance?
He has a “receding hairline” I just read on another post that perhaps Minoxidil doesn’t work on it?
For any of you guys reading this and concerned about Hairloss… and what women think… I thought I’d note that “my husband” is the one concerned about the hair loss. I personally think guys with bald heads are kinda sexy;)
