woman Minoxidil Regaine 5
What is the risk for a woman applying Minoxidil (Regaine or Rogaine) 5 %?
The pharmaceutical companies which commercialize Regaine are too cautious regarding the potential side effects of the minoxidil in women. Indeed, a growth of hair on the lower part of the face has been noticed in women using the minoxidil 5 %, as well as a hypotensive tendency sometimes and a local irritation of the scalp. This growth of hair might be linked to the migration of the product, either via the blood circulation, or by the flow via the lymphatics through the face skin. Therefore we advise the user to check her face carefully. If hairs appear, it is recommended to stop the application of the lotion or to decrease the dose and the frequency.
