Minoxidil 2% is a topical treatment that can be prescribed by a dermatologist. However at this time it has not been approved by the FDA. Other treatments include Spironolactone (under the brand name Aldactone), Tagamet, and oral contraceptives. It is best to discuss your options with your doctor. http://www.americanhairloss.org/women_hair_loss/treatment.asp
well my endo and my derm both agreed to put me on 200mg per day, i believe that for regrowth, you need at least 100mg. it is however in my opinion better to start with 50 or even 25 and increase the dosage progressively, that way your body tolerance increases too and the side effects are a lot milder :)
