Best Times to Apply Rogaine?
Dr. Rassman,
Does it matter what time of day I apply Rogaine? I like to apply it when I get home from work (6pm) and before I go to bed (11pm). Rogaine’s website says do it in the morning and the evening, but is that necessary?
Thanks
Well, if the makers of the medication tell you to do it once in the morning and once at night… I would try to follow their directions.
I’d assume the reason behind the morning/night instructions is so that the applications are evenly spaced. If you cannot do it in the morning and want to space it 5 hours apart, I think that wouldn’t hurt, so long as you are applying it twice a day.
I emailed the company once regarding the very same type of question.
I was instructed to wait a minimum of at least 8 hours before the second application.
They also said to wait a minimum of 3 hours before going to bed as it takes aproximately that long to fully absorb.
Hope this helps!
