Coverit 10%

I am a girl of 23yrs and my Doctor has suggested me to use Coverit 10%. I’m losing my Hairs in the Front portion. Will it be beneficial for me? For how much time I Should use this?
Richa
AskDocWeb: Coverit 10% appears to contain 10% minoxidil. In our country products containing 10% minoxidil are not approved for use by women mainly because of unwanted side effects such as the growth of body hair and facial hair.

AskDocWeb: Once again, if you stop using this hair growth stimulant, the hair that it caused to grow will fall out. If you start using it again you may recover that hair but it is likely to take several months.

AskDocWeb: The amount of minoxidil that the directions say to use is the amount that research has found to be effective. If you use less than that then you can expect to start losing hair again.

Twice a day?
Date: 8/27/2015
Hello sir, i m using minoxidil 5 % nd taking finax 1mg daily. But i applied minoxdil 5% only at night time before going to bed. Is it compolsury to applied minoxidile twice a day? If i applied once in a day what will be the consequences?
Sumi
AskDocWeb: Ask yourself this; If you apply half as much effort that is needed in order to do a job, would you expect the job to get done? If the directions say to apply it twice a day and you do half of that, it is unlikely to produce satisfying results.
