Rogaine (Minoxidil)
About
Rogaine (Minoxidil) As Cure
for Baldness
There is currently no
cure for baldness. There are some hair
loss products that can help slow down
the process but there is no cure for the
most common type of hair loss called
male pattern baldness.
Male-pattern baldness typically occurs in
men between 20 and 45 because of high levels of androgens, such as
testosterone and dihydroxy-testosterone (DHT). Androgenic alopecia
develops as a gradual reduction in hair follicle size and shorter cycles
in the active growth phase.
There are two drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration and
are shown to have some positive effect on balding, Finasteride and
Minoxidil.
The
5-alpha-reductace inhibitors
medical drugs
Finasteride and Minoxidil
are most widely used as medical hair loss treatments for men.
Minoxidil as Rogaine Hair Growth Topical
Drug
Rogaine
is another hair growth topical drug used for hair loss treatment that is now available over-the-counter.
Minoxidil is the
active ingredient in the prescribed medication Rogaine, and was originally used to treat high blood
pressure as a blood vessel dilating agent. Treatments call for Rogaine to be applied twice a day or any hair
re-growth
will fall out.
It is necessary to use Rogaine for about 3 to 4 months to see evidence
of re-growth.
Any hair
re-growth is in the form of a peach-fuzz baby hair which will not necessarily look consistent with the rest of the head of hair.
A generic version of the drug is Headway which is cheaper, making
minoxidil more affordable.
Who can benefit with Minoxidil, Rogaine
Medication?
Minoxidil treatment for hair
loss works better as a hair growth drug for those who are younger or whose
hair loss is recent, according to Pharmacia and Upjohn companies.
What Are
Minoxidil
Side effects?

include an itchy scalp
& maybe sudden weight gain, chest pains, fainting, or rapid heartbeat.
