Opinie i bezpieczeństwo
Minoxidil jest skuteczny u około 60% Pacjentów, którzy zdecydują się na terapię z jego wykorzystaniem. Opinie o jego stosowaniu są raczej pozytywne, a skutki uboczne pojawiają się rzadko, pod warunkiem nakładania i dozowania preparatu zgodnie z zaleceniami z ulotki lub tymi sformułowanymi przez lekarza. To doskonale przebadany lek, który stosuje się w terapii łysienia od lat. Nie stwierdzono jego negatywnego wpływu na organizm, a co więcej 95% jego metabolitów znika już po kilku dniach od zakończenia terapii.
Nie wolno jednak stosować go w ciąży i w okresie karmienia piersią, ponieważ nie wiadomo, jaki wpływ może mieć na płód. Przeprowadzono na ten temat badania na zwierzętach, gdzie minoksydyl wykazał negatywne działanie w stosunku do ich płodów, jednak brak takich danych na temat ludzi. Efekty ze stosowania minoxidilu są uznawane powszechnie za bardzo zadowalające, ze względu na stosunkowo szybki czas działania i dostrzegalność rezultatów gołym okiem.
For women:
Minoxidil can be used in the same way as for men, please see above. The difference is that the solution will contain a lower percentage of Minoxidil compared to the men’s product.
Other treatments for hair loss

What Rogaine Products Are Available?
Currently, five different formulations of Rogaine are available OTC, including:
- Men’s Rogaine 5% Aerosol Foam
- Men’s Rogaine 2% Solution
- Men’s Rogaine Extra Strength 5% Solution
- Women’s Rogaine 5% Aerosol Foam
- Women’s Rogaine 2% Solution
All of these products are similar in that they contain minoxidil as their active ingredient and are designed to be applied directly to the affected area of hair loss.
The site of application varies slightly between the different forms. The FDA has approved each of the three Men’s Rogaine products for application to the vertex of the head. The vertex is the upper-most point in the center of the scalp and represents a common location for hair loss among men.
Men’s Rogaine was approved for hair loss based on its application only to the vertex of the head. The product isn’t FDA-approved for use on the face, hairline, or anywhere else to promote hair growth.
The two Women’s Rogaine products are FDA-approved for a broader application site. The instructions indicate that these medications can be applied anywhere on the scalp to promote hair growth.
Though FDA approval of Rogaine products only includes these specified areas for hair growth, some healthcare providers may recommend applying the medication to other areas as an off-label treatment. However, the evidence supporting non-scalp use is mixed.
Some studies and case reports suggest Rogaine’s potential benefit to hair growth of the eyebrows, beard, and facial hair. However, other studies have found little or no improvement. The medication's effectiveness is also unclear for certain kinds of alopecia, such as scarring alopecia.
Both the foam and solution work pretty much the same way, but you apply them slightly differently. With the solution, you apply the liquid to the balding area with a dropper. With the foam, you massage it into your scalp where you want it to work. This helps the medication reach the hair follicles to optimize effectiveness.
