Using Rogaine For Hair Loss
Propecia and Rogaine are the only hair loss medications approved by the FDA for treating hair loss. Minoxidil, (Rogaine’s active ingredient), was originally created as a drug for treating hypertension (high blood pressure). It was then discovered that one of its side affects was growing hair. Minoxidil was then tested for use a topical application for regrowing hair. The results were sufficiently impressive that the FDA approved it as a treatment for hair loss.
The recommended dose of Propecia is 1mg once daily with or without meals. In general, daily use for three months or more is needed before a change in hair loss is obvious. It may take up to six months before hair regrows. To maintain regrown hair, you must continue to use Propecia. If you stop treatment, your hair will return to its pre-treatment growth pattern within 12 months.
