Rogaine, distributed by McNEIL-PPC, Inc., is one of the popular hair loss treatments in the market for years, and it has slowly gained popularity around the world. From its original inception and approval in the United States by the Food and Drug Authority (FDA), Rogaine is now being sold worldwide by the original patent holder.
According to the company website, Rogaine hair loss treatment is the only medication (topical) that has been clinically approved by the FDA. A direct contradiction with many hair growth formulas that also claim the privilege of being effective formulas for hair growth approved by the same department of the US government.
The Benefits Of Rogaine
One of the benefits of Rogaine is that it comes in two main forms – the foam and the spray. The original Rogaine came as topical foam that may be applied to scalp on a daily basis for months. Usually, results would emerge after two to three months of continuous use.
The spray formula is a relatively new invention – it’s neater and can be used when travelling. The portability of the sprayed-on Rogaine is a big “hook” to travelers and executives. The so-called muss and fuss of the old Rogaine is eliminated to a certain degree.
According to the company website, about 85% of all the men and women who apply the foam or the spray to their hair and scalp daily (twice a day) have given positive results. Positive results include thickening of hair or the growth of new hair in otherwise “empty” areas of the scalp.
The Disadvantages Of Rogaine
The disadvantages of Rogaine include some symptoms of irritation for those who are not naturally akin to using the drug. Irritations occur on the scalp area – moderate to sever itching, the reddening of the skin, etc. Such moderate symptoms may or may not disappear. If the symptoms persist and little improvement is seen, the use of Rogaine should be discontinued.
As stated by the company-provided product information, it takes an average of four months before you see any improvements. By then, you would have spent a considerable amount of money for your twice-a-day treatment of your balding.
