Generic Minoxidil Cheaper than Rogaine?
I’ve been looking at different types of minoxidil and again there seems to be the branded version of rogaine which is about £35 for 3 months, but also another brand called kirkland which is about half the price, is there difference however?
Many Thanks
There should be no difference. Rogaine was the heavily marketed version but once the drug went generic after the patent expired, Kirkland (Costco’s house label) and other brands were able to come out with the same product under different names. Thus, cheaper pricing.
This is why there is now a Rogaine Foam (which is under patent protection) and why you don’t see generic minoxidil foam available.
