Explanation:

Minoxidil (Rogaine) is a topical medication for hair - loss, available in 2 percent and 5 percent strengths, stimulates hair growth and slows hair - loss, and results take months and stop when usage stops. Finasteride is an oral prescription medication, more convenient and effective than minoxidil in some cases, but can cause birth defects in male fetuses and should not be prescribed to women with child - bearing potential.
