Rogaine for Men

 

Rogaine for Men is a Minoxidil-based brand available as an over-the-counter-medication to arrest falling and thinning hair. A product of McNeil PPC, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson and a leader in consumer healthcare products, it stands out as the first and only topical treatment approved by the FDA as effective in hair regrowth. It has become the #1 brand dermatologists and cosmetologists recommend in reversing the inevitable progression of hereditary hair loss in men.

 

Minoxidil had been used as a prescriptive drug for vasodilating patients with hypertension which caused some patients to grow hair in unwanted places. Rogaine applied this accidental find to produce a 2% Minoxidil topical solution as a prescriptive medication for promoting hair growth back in 1988.

 

In 1996, Rogaine got approval as an over-the-counter drug and the following year saw a stronger 5% Rogaine solution that regrew hair in about 85% of balding men taking the treatment twice daily in 4 months.

 

 

Is Rogaine for Men Good?

 

The Rogaine Extra Strength Solution has been designed for men with thinning hair on the crown and is not intended to treat frontal baldness or commonly known as receding hairline. Here’s a sample of what they said about the product.

 

By  Javier Bedolla (northlake, il, US): It helps, January 30, 2011:  “Ater 8 months of usting rogaine, my hair is still falling, however looks better, fuller and thicker. Over all I was expecting more about this product.”

 

By  A. Willis "Ol' Night Owl" (Arizona): Plain and Simple... It Works!, July 13, 2009:  “I have been using Rogaine for about three months now. I started using it on my temples and have had great results. I have recently started using it on the top of my scalp and my receding hairline. Though not clinically tested for either of these areas this is where my hair loss is. What else can I say plain and simple other than... it works.”

 

By  R. Hicks (GA): Hair loss seems to have stopped, June 13, 2009:  “With a product like this, it's difficult to say how well it works. It's not as though you can compare it a what-if-I-didn't scenario. What I can say is this: I've been using it for 6-7 months, and the hair loss appears to have stopped. I haven't seen any regrowth, but stopping it is well worth the price.”

 

 

Is Rogaine for Men Safe?

The foam variant is extremely flammable and users are advised to refrain from smoking during or following is application. It is not meant for women, children and those below 18 years of age. The website also advices that Rogaine for Men is not to be used by those with no family history of hair loss, or with sudden patchy hair loss caused by disease.

 

Like any treatment, it is always prudent to consult with your doctor prior to using Rogaine, especially if you have been diagnosed with heart disease or high blood condition, or are taking other prescribed medication.

 

Its active ingredient Minoxidil is a pharmaceutical product that interacts with the body chemistry to dilate blood vessels. As such some people have been known to experience mild complications like dizziness, rapid heartbeat, scalp irritation, chest pain, numbness in the hands, weight gain and even unwanted facial hair growth.  

 

Stop using the product if these side effects appear and consult with your doctor right away. Most of these go away with subsequent use of Rogaine that acclimatizes the body’s tolerance. The fact that it is FDA approved indicates its high level of safety and efficacy.
