Rogaineis a proven hair loss medication approved by the FDA for treating hair loss. Minoxidil, (Rogaine’s main ingredient), was first used as a drug for treating high blood pressure. It was soon discovered that one of its side affects was new 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.
Rogaine is available in two strengths — Regular (2%) and Extra Strength (5%). Individual users of Regular strength Rogaine have claimed success rates of 30-40%.
Rogaine works by revitalizing shrunken hair follicles, thus increasing their size. If Rogaine is used every day, your follicles may increase in size, and the growing phase may become longer. This may then produces longer, thicker hairs. Take a look at this site http://hairlossmedication.org/ to find out more about Rogaine.
