Product Information

Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. Tell your healthcare professional if you are taking any other prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicine. Other Interactions

Any other skin problems, an irritation, or a sunburn on the scalp—These conditions may cause too much topical minoxidil to be absorbed into the body and may increase the chance of side effects. Ultimately, choosing which minoxidil you use is analogous to choosing your preferred cola. Okay, maybe that’s a bad analogy because everyone prefers Coke over Pepsi. There are no specific recommendations for use in older people or in patients with renal or hepatic impairment.

This product should not be used concomitantly with other medications applied topically on the scalp (see section 4.3). Cardiac effects of minoxidil in dogs are species-specific in terms of low doses that cause profound haemodynamic effects and associated changes in the heart. Available data indicate that similar cardiac effects do not occur in humans treated topically or orally with minoxidil. The primary efficacy criterion was non-vellus hair count in a 1.0cm 2 reference area of affected scalp. The mean changes observed in this parameter in these studies were significantly in favour of active treatment. A significant dose effect was also demonstrated. The results are summarized in the following table: The patient should stop using Regaine for Men Extra Strength Scalp Foam 5% w/w Cutaneous Foam and see a doctor if hypotension is detected or if the patient is experiencing chest pain, rapid heartbeat, faintness or dizziness, sudden unexplained weight gain, swollen hands or feet or persistent redness or irritation of the scalp or other unexpected new symptoms occur (see section 4.8).

Increased systemic absorption of minoxidil may potentially occur if higher-than-recommended doses of Regaine for Men Extra Strength Scalp Foam 5% w/w Cutaneous Foam are applied to larger surface areas of the body or areas other than the scalp. Preclinical data reveal no special hazards for humans based on conventional studies of safety pharmacology, repeated dose toxicity, genotoxicity or carcinogenic potential.Some consumers reported increased hair shedding upon initiation of therapy with Regaine for Men Extra Strength Scalp Solution 5% w/v Cutaneous Solution. 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 Solution 5% w/v Cutaneous Solution and consult their doctor. Minoxidil topical foam or solution is for use on the scalp only. Keep this medicine away from the eyes, nose, and mouth. If you should accidentally get some in your eyes, nose, or mouth, flush the area thoroughly with cool tap water. If you are using the pump spray, be careful not to breathe in the spray . Topical minoxidil is not indicated when there is no family history of hair loss, hair loss is sudden and/or patchy, hair loss is due to childbirth, or the reason for hair loss is unknown. There’s no reason you can’t try both the liquid and foam to see which one you like better! Buy a bottle of each and conduct your own little experiment.

Topical drugs, such as corticosteroids, tretinoin, dithranol or petrolatum, which alter the stratum corneum barrier, could result in increased absorption of minoxidil if applied concurrently. Although it has not been demonstrated clinically, there exists the theoretical possibility of absorbed minoxidil potentiating orthostatic hypotension caused by peripheral vasodilators. Regaine® for Women ONCE A DAY Scalp Foam is more likely to re-grow hair in women with the following range thinning hair or hair loss (see leaflet for details) The efficacy of 5% minoxidil foam has been assessed in a Phase 3 clinical trial conducted over a 16-week treatment period.

Minoxidil is the most effective hair loss treatment for women and the second most effective hair loss treatment for men, after finasteride. 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. Learn more about Finasteride (Propecia) here.

Studies in women suggest that this medication poses minimal risk to the infant when used during breastfeeding. Drug InteractionsOne observation with the foam is that in hot weather, the foam comes out of the can in liquid form instead of foam. You can overcome this by putting the can in the refrigerator.
