What is this Drug
Vaniqa (pronounced "VAN-i-ka") is used by women to slow the growth of unwanted facial hair. Vaniqa doesn¡¦t permanently remove facial hair or prevent it from growing again. It does, however, hinder an
enzyme in the hair follicle that is required for hair growth. The result is that the hair grows more slowly where the cream is used.
