NY Woman Sprouts Beard, Sues NEW YORK (AP) -- A woman who sprouted a beard after taking Rogaine is suing for $1.5 million, the New York Post reported today. Gloria Mosesson, 73, is suing Pharmacia & Upjohn Inc., maker of Rogaine, claiming it caused "heavy, dark, beard-like growth on her face, starting at about eyebrow level and extending down close to the chin area." Mosesson began using the lotion in May 1996 for hair loss, according to a suit filed Monday in a Manhattan court. Despite growing some facial hair, she kept using the drug because the instructions did not indicate facial hair could come from using the drug on the head, the suit alleged. Mosesson stopped using the drug, but the facial hair "continued to grow, not just in length, but even spread," according to the suit. Pharmacia spokesman John Wayne said the instructions explain that improper use can cause unwanted hair growth.
