How to read this comparison
This page is published by FOLIGAIN. We aim to show CVS Health accurately, including where it offers something FOLIGAIN doesn't. CVS Health is a trademark of its owner.
OTC Minoxidil products at the same strength contain the same active ingredient under the same FDA rules. Real differences are usually format, inactive ingredients (such as propylene glycol or alcohol level), pack size, price per month, buying channel and whether a subscription or telehealth visit is involved.
Prices and ranges change often. Where a row says 'Not offered / not verified', we have not confirmed the product on a current label.

About CVS Health
CVS Health is the private-label (store-brand) range sold by CVS Pharmacy. Its Minoxidil products are OTC drug products that contain the same active ingredient, at the same labeled strengths, as national-brand OTC Minoxidil.
Store-brand Minoxidil is usually manufactured by a contract manufacturer and distributed under the retailer's name. The exact manufacturer, inactive ingredients and package sizes are listed on each product's Drug Facts label and DailyMed record.
- Sold under the retailer's own label, typically shelved next to national brands
- Pricing and pack sizes set by the retailer
How to choose
Pick the label that matches your sex and needs, then the format you'll use consistently. Compare cost per month rather than per bottle, and ask a pharmacist if you have health conditions.
