Question:
I was wondering if there are any side effects specific to African American hair and the use of Rogaine or Propecia?

Answer:
The side effects that are possible with either the use of Rogaine/minoxidil or Propecia/finasteride are the same in both African Americans and Caucasians. There has not been any specific list that has differentiated the side effects between African American and Caucasian patients.
