I’ve Gained Weight After Using Rogaine Foam for 2 Weeks
i have been using rogaine 5% foam for 2 wks now a as directed by my dr. dermatologist, i have gained 5-6 lbs over these past 2 wks and feel swollen in the face. what do i do and can this be due to the use of rogaine?
Weight gain has been reported with the use of Rogaine, but the cause is not known or even proven. “Unexplained weight gain” is listed as a known side effect (see here). Still, 5 to 6 pounds seems quite drastic in a short time span. Swelling of the face can be a sign of an allergic reaction.
As you are under the care of a dermatologist, I would suggest that you seek his advice on the weight gain issue.
