Vaniqa (eflornithine) for Hirsutism "I've been using this for over three months now, and I'm delighted with it. I've tried almost everything else on the market during the last 30 years, none of which have worked as well as this. After two weeks I was ready to be disappointed but it gradually started to work. Yes, it's expensive (a tube lasts about 9 weeks), but it's worth every penny to see the hair growth almost disappear. I still have to use a no-no (hair removal system) once a week and occasionally the tweezers, but the difference is remarkable. To feel a smooth chin and upper lip is just great!"

Vaniqa (eflornithine) "Vaniqa has been amazing at slowing my facial hair growth. My first tube was six months ago that with discounts cost $50, still high but worth it for me. But second prescription is $180 as discounts are no longer available. But my main question is has anyone else noticed the hair on their head also thinning? I can easily see my scalp on left side of head. And if Vaniqa is not to blame, are any discounts still working for anyone in the US or is there a pharmacy ouside of US to fill cheaper."

Vaniqa (eflornithine) for Hirsutism "I take Seroxat/Paxil for depression. When I started to use Vaniqa, it worked for hairs but I didn't realize that it was making me very depressed! Be careful"

Vaniqa (eflornithine) for Hirsutism "For me it doesn't work, not even in one single hair of my face, darker or lighter. I'm using for one month and half and no results till now. What a waste of money"

Vaniqa (eflornithine) for Hirsutism "Worked on facial hair, however I also started to have heavy fall out from the hair on my head. It may have been coincidental but it was enough to make me stop using the cream."
