Rogaine (minoxidil) is marketed for hair growth — not hair loss. There are occasional reports of increased shedding in the first month of use, but this is just temporary. Many people panic when they see increased shedding and stop the treatment so I suspect it would be a negative outcome if you look at it […]

You shouldn’t replace Rogaine with Propecia and expect it to maintain your Rogaine benefits. You’ll need to keep up with the Rogaine to see those benefits remain, even if they’ve tapered off. In general, we recommend adding Rogaine about a year after starting Propecia so that the individual patient can make an educated assessment of […]
They have different mechanism of action, so I’d assume they could work together for maximum benefit on the same follicle… but if you stop using one medication, the other medication won’t maintain it 100%. In other words, Rogaine-grown hair isn’t maintained by finasteride alone (and vice versa).
This type of question is really for your doctor… and that’s not me. Dizziness can be the result of Rogaine (minoxidil) and if it came on with your starting the drug use, then it is highly suggestive that the symptoms and the drug are connected. The easiest thing is to stop the drug and see […]
Could you have stayed out too late or haven’t slept well lately? I realize those are the obvious questions to ask, but they’re probably the more common causes of dark circles under the eyes. Did you rub your eyes after applying the medication? How long were you using the medication before you saw these circles […]
1. Usually “temporary” hair loss means hair loss will return (in the case of hair loss from minoxidil, the loss is usually over a 2-3 month period). I’ve written about this shedding before here. 2. If you were told to use 5% once a day, why don’t you ask the person who told you if […]
If you had hair extensions and developed traction alopecia from the tight constant pulling, nothing short of a hair transplant will fix it. Most women do not go completely bald unless that have specific conditions like alopecia totalis. Rogaine can cause hair loss when you first start using it, but it is not a permanent […]
Although it is a good shampoo, Nizoral (ketoconazole) isn’t proven to regrow hair. Some people suggest it has benefits for hair growth, but I’ve written about that before. But as for expectations, I’d expect Rogaine to help in the crown now that you’ve started using it there (particularly if you had success in the hairline, […]
Yes, I don’t see why you’d want to do this… but you can do this. Both the Rogaine liquid and Rogaine Foam are 5% minoxidil, just in different application methods.
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 […]
Rogaine Foam should be as good as regular Rogaine, but some people feel that the foam has the advantage since it is easier to apply. If you have very advanced balding, you may still see some benefit from Rogaine, but your chances for success aren’t great in completely bald areas. Feel free to try it […]
Rogaine (minoxidil) is not contraindicated for diabetics. Rogaine is for hair growth and has nothing to do with insulin production or diabetes. Always check with your doctor before starting or stopping any medication as BaldingBlog is not a source for personal medical information or recommendations.
Thanks for the tip about the foam now being available in unscented. I found this press release about it for those interested. But really, Rogaine Foam is now scent free. That’s all the press release really says. As for your question — I have seen patients in the past who use Rogaine with good results, […]
I searched for online pharmacies that ship to Dubai and couldn’t find any that I’d put trust in. I suggest that you might check with doctors who come from the United States and practice hair transplantation in Dubai, as they may be willing to bring in the medication with them. Check out the physician search […]
Do not inject minoxidil! Rogaine (minoxidil) is a blood pressure lowering medication when taken orally. In an extreme case, injecting it could kill you. If you inject it in to your blood stream, skin, or muscle you may have a very dangerous adverse side effect with no hair growth. Do not play mad scientist in […]
