Rogaine 2% for Women
Monday, April 25th, 2005For the women out there who are dealing with hair loss, there is help. Rogaine has been approved by the FDA for use by women in a 2% topical solution. Rogaine for Women is designed to be used by women who are suffering from a general loss of hair or thinning of the hair on the top of the scalp. Rogaine is not for women who have lost a patch of hair. Just like Rogaine for men, Rogaine for Women is for women who have a history of hair loss in their family. The hair loss can be on either side of your family and the old tale about hair loss being inherited from the mother’s side is unsubstatiated. If you fit this description, then Rogaine may help you to slow down your hair loss, stop it completely or even regrow your hair in some cases. The sooner you use Rogaine the better. Studies have shown that the earlier you treat your hair loss, the better your results will be.
Why Rogaine for Women?
Rogaine for women is the only FDA approved medication to treat hair loss in women. Rogaine has helped millions of women around the world to deal with their hair loss. Will Rogaine work for you if you have a history of hair loss and are suffering from general hair loss? Nobody knows. The only way to find out if Rogaine will work for you is to try it.
How to Use Rogaine
Rogaine is applied twice a day to the scalp. Once in the morning and once at night. It is a liquid that is made up mostly of alcohol so that it will evaporate quickly and be easily spread across the top of your scalp. Rogaine must be used for a period of at least 4 months (preferably more) to see if Rogaine will work for you. Using it for less time is a waste. You can color your hair, perm it or do anything else that you can dream of. Rogaine will not be affected by this.
Is there a 5% Solution for Women?
We are often asked if there is a 5% Rogaine solution for women. The answer is no. There were trials conducted by Pharmacia Corporation and in the end, it appears that there was no noticeable difference between the 2% solution and the 5% solution as was seen in men.
