Description

Rogaine (generic name: minoxidil; brand names include: Regaine / Morr) is a vasodilator medication known for its ability to slow or stop hair loss and promote hair regrowth in both men and women.

Rogaine is used as a long-term treatment for common baldness.

Rogaine is the first and only FDA-approved topical treatment that is clinically proven to regrow hair. Rogaine also helps to reverse the progression of hereditary hair loss.

Rogaine is the #1 dermatologist-recommended brand for hair regrowth.

In hereditary hair loss, a combination of heredity, hormones, and age causes a progressive shrinking, or miniaturization, of certain scalp follicles. This causes a shortening of the hair's growing cycle. Over time, as the active growth phase becomes shorter, the resting phase becomes longer. Eventually, there may be no growth at all. Researchers believe that Rogaine works in part by partially enlarging the hair follicles and reversing the miniaturization process. By enlarging miniaturized follicles, the growth phase of the hair cycle is prolonged, allowing the hair to become longer and thicker looking. And with more follicles in the growth phase at the same time, it is possible to see improved coverage of the scalp.


Rogaine is available in 60 ml bottles containing either 2% or 5% minoxidil topical solution.
