Do not use Regaine if you have previously had a bad reaction to Minoxidil or any other ingredients in the product. There is some evidence from in vitro studies that minoxidil reversibly binds to human plasma proteins. However, since only 1 – 2% of topically applied minoxidil is absorbed, the extent of plasma protein binding occurring in vivo after topical application would be clinically insignificant. The volume of distribution of minoxidil after intravenous administration has been estimated at 70 litres. Hair loss in women affects a number of women. 40% of women have visible hair loss by the time they are age 40. The Regaine for Women product range has been specifically formulated for the prevention of hereditary hair loss in women. Hair loss for women can also appear in the form of thinning hair. The Regaine for women range incudes re-grow and preventing hair loss products as well as hair thinning treatment for women.

As a peripheral vasodilator minoxidil enhances microcirculation to hair follicles. The Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) is stimulated by minoxidil and VEGF is presumably responsible for the increased capillary fenestration, indicative of a high metabolic activity, observed during the anagen phase. Minoxidil comes as a lotion, liquid or foam, normally in a strength of 2% or 5%. The higher concentration is usually only recommended for use by men and is labelled by Regaine as Extra Strength for Men. To have any positive effect upon hair loss, minoxidil must be applied at least once a day, every day for as long as treatment is desired. Do not use Regaine if you have total baldness or complete loss of all body hair or if the cause of your hair loss is unknown, or if it is sudden or unexpected.Rogaine is most effective for people who start using it at the first indications of hair loss. It’s unlikely to help people who are already bald. Who should not use Rogaine Some consumers reported increased hair shedding upon initiation of therapy with Regaine for Men Extra Strength Scalp Foam 5% w/w Cutaneous Foam. This is most likely due to minoxidil's action of shifting hairs from the resting telogen phase to the growing anagen phase (old hairs fall out as new hairs grow in their place). This temporary increase in hair shedding generally occurs two to six weeks after beginning treatment and subsides within a couple of weeks. If shedding persists (> 2 weeks), users should stop using Regaine for Men Extra Strength Scalp Foam 5% w/w Cutaneous Foam and consult their doctor.

Do not use Regaine if you are unsure that your hair loss is hereditary or if it is caused by another form of medical treatment. If you see results from Rogaine, it’s recommended to maintain regular use indefinitely, as results aren’t permanent without continued use. Where can I get Rogaine? Finasteride is a tablet taken every day to combat male pattern baldness, and is sometimes branded in the UK as Propecia. However it must not be taken by women. In one study, Propecia was shown to be effective at halting hair loss and promoting regrowth in 90% of men who used it. Minoxidil showed no evidence of mutagenic/genotoxic potential in a number of in vitro and in vivo assays. Imagine not having to worry about frequent pharmacy visits or complicated applications. With Regaine's easy-to-use applicator and three-month supply, you can focus on what matters most: seeing results.
