11 reviews for Minoxidil 5% (Rogaine 5)
Rogaine 5 contains Minoxidil 5%.
Minoxidil is a liquid that you apply to your scalp to treat hereditary hair loss (male or female pattern baldness). It helps slow hair loss and can help some hair regrow.
The 2% strength is often used by women and the 5% strength by men, but your doctor may advise otherwise. It only works while you keep using it.
What is it used for?
- Male pattern hair loss (thinning at the top and crown)
- Female pattern hair loss (thinning at the parting)
How does it work?
Minoxidil widens the small blood vessels in the scalp and lengthens the growing phase of hair. This helps hair follicles grow thicker, longer hair.
This information is written in simple words to help you understand this product. It does not replace advice from your doctor or pharmacist.
Read these points before you start. If any of them apply to you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist first.
- It is for use on the skin only. Keep it away from your eyes, mouth and inside your nose.
- Do not use it if you are allergic to any of the ingredients.
- Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Only use it on a normal, healthy scalp. Do not use it on sunburned, irritated or broken skin.
- Do not use it if your hair loss is sudden, patchy, or linked to childbirth or illness. See a doctor first.
- Tell your doctor if you have heart disease or low blood pressure.
- Do not use it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Keep it away from children and pets. It is very dangerous to cats if licked.
- Tell your doctor or pharmacist about every other medicine, vitamin or herbal product you use.
- Keep this product out of the reach and sight of children.
Like all medicines, Rogaine 5 can cause side effects, but not everybody gets them.
Common side effects
- Itchy, dry or flaky scalp
- More hair shedding in the first 2 to 8 weeks (this is normal)
- Unwanted hair on the face or other places where the liquid touches
These are usually mild and often get better as your body gets used to it. Tell your doctor if they bother you or do not go away.
Stop using it and get medical help straight away if you notice:
- Chest pain, a fast heartbeat, fainting or dizziness
- Sudden weight gain or swollen hands or feet
- Severe scalp redness or irritation
This is not a complete list. If you notice anything unusual, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
- Make sure your hair and scalp are completely dry.
- Apply 1 ml (use the dropper or spray) to the thinning area of the scalp twice a day, morning and night. Spread it with your fingertips.
- Wash your hands straight after use.
- Let it dry for 2 to 4 hours before going to bed, swimming or getting your hair wet.
- It takes at least 2 to 4 months to see results. Keep using it every day.
If you miss a dose: Apply it as soon as you remember, then carry on as normal. Do not use extra to make up.
If you use too much: If you accidentally swallow some, contact a doctor, pharmacist or poison control centre for advice.
How to store it: Keep it in its original pack at room temperature (below 25°C / 77°F), away from heat, damp and direct sunlight. Do not use it after the expiry date.
