Important information about Rogaine

How does Rogaine work?

The active ingredient in Rogaine is minoxidil. This medication belongs to a class of medications called vasodilators. Vasodilators relax blood vessels to increase blood flow to hair follicles. This lengthens the hair follicle's time in its growth phase to increase hair length and thickness. It also helps promote new hair growth while it thickens existing hair.

How do you use Rogaine?

Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and read all documents provided, including the full Prescribing Information, FDA-Approved Product Labeling, Instructions for Use, and Medication Guide before using Rogaine. However, the following is a synopsis of the general guidelines for the use of Rogaine:

  • Men’s Rogaine Solution: Apply 1 mL with the dropper twice daily to the affected hair loss area on the scalp. Allow the solution to dry completely before styling or going to bed.
  • Men’s Minoxidil Foam: Apply half a capful to the affected hair loss area on the scalp twice a day. Replace the cap accordingly and allow the foam to dry completely before styling or going to bed.
  • Women’s Rogaine Solution: Apply 1 mL with the dropper twice a day directly onto the hair loss area on the scalp. Allow the solution to dry completely before styling or going to bed.
  • Women’s Minoxidil Foam: Apply half a capful to the affected area of the scalp once a day. Replace the cap accordingly and allow the foam to dry completely before styling or going to bed.
  • Apply the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up for the missed dose.
  • Keep Rogaine in your daily hair care routine to revive your hair follicles and maintain your hair regrowth.

What are the side effects of Rogaine?

The most common side effects of Rogaine seen in clinical trials include:

  • Changes in color or texture of hair.
