by alan anderson
To stop hair from falling, not only hair but also hair follicles should be paid proper attention. What are follicles? Follicles can be termed as fertile land on which hair grow. Follicles are small opening situated beneath the skin, these provides nourishment to the hair through roots of hair. The nutrients for hair are supplied by blood. As earth holds a plant firmly follicles hold hair. Whenever, there is the problem of hair falling the drug which soothes follicles should be given preference over the drugs which work only on hair.
Rogaine (minoxidil) is one of such drug. Rogaine is the brand name and minoxidil is the active compound in it. The working of the drug is not clear but its efficacy as a hair growth stimulator is proven. In men it can grow hair on the spots where hair has fallen because of man pattern baldness. In women it can grow hairs primarily on the front part of the head. It is an FDA approved drug which is available in liquid form. For men suffering form male pattern baldness, Rogaine with 5% concentration is ideal while for women suffering from hair fall Rogaine liquid with 2% minoxidil suits better.
To get better results Rogaine should be directly applied on the scalp twice a day. Care should be taken to prevent Rogaine from falling in eyes while applying on scalp, as its alcoholic base can cause irritation in affected eye. Rogaine can cause some mild side effects like abnormal skin, fluid retention, and a small increase in rate of heart beats. These side effects of the drug disappear after regular use of this for few days. Thus, patients of cardiovascular and coronary disease, breast feeding mothers, pregnant ladies should avoid using Rogaine.
Rogaine should be used only after getting doctors prescription for it. It is highly beneficial product which can save people from embarrassing baldness without producing any harmful effects.
