Along with Propecia, Rogaine is one of the only confirmed hair loss treatments approved by the FDA for treating hair loss. Minoxidil, (Rogaine’s active ingredient), was originally created as a drug for treating high blood pressure. It was then discovered that one of its side affects was growing 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.
The usual dosage of Propecia is 1mg once daily with or without meals. In general, daily use for three months or more is needed before a change in hair loss is obvious. It may take up to six months before hair regrows. Side effects with Propecia are rare, but may include decreased sex drive and impotence.
