Using Rogaine with a Heart Arrhythmia?

Hi Doctor. I am a 58 year old male with a-fib. I have been taking Tambocor twice a day for 3 years and I would like to start using Rogaine. What are your thoughts on this?

Thanks

My thoughts are… you really need to ask your doctor.

Rogaine can cause a decrease in your blood pressure as a side effect. I do not know the state or severity of your atrial fibrillation or how well it is controlled or if you would have side effects with other medications. Only your doctor can give you specific information with respect to your treatment.
