Regaine For Women

Hair Loss, also known as alopecia, is a common condition that affects many women. It can occur due to various factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions, stress, and aging.

Female pattern hair loss is one of the most common types of hair loss.

Regaine works by increasing the blood flow to the hair follicles, providing them with more oxygen and nutrients. This helps to stimulate hair growth and prolong the growth phase of the hair cycle. The active ingredient minoxidil dilates blood vessels and promote the growth of new hair follicles.

Regaine is for topical and external use only. In most cases, it should be applied to the scalp twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. It is important to follow the instructions carefully and use the recommended amount.

The affected area should be cleaned and dried before applying Regaine, and the solution or foam should be gently massaged into the scalp.

If you are still unsure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

Regaine, like all medicines, can cause side effects although not everyone gets them. A few side effects of this medication are:

• scalp irritation, dryness, itching, and redness
• unwanted hair growth on the face or other areas
• chest pain
• rapid heartbeat
• dizziness

If you experience any side-effects talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse. If you experience any other side effects not listed, you can also report side effects directly via the Yellow Card Scheme.

You should not use Regaine if:

1. you are allergic to minoxidil or any other ingredients in the product
2. you have high blood pressure, even if it is not treated
3. you have any condition that affects your scalp
4. you are using creams, ointments or lotions to treat scalp conditions
5. you know that your scalp is normal and healthy

If you are still unsure about whether it is suitable for you to use Regaine, check with your doctor or pharmacist.

The ingredients/strength in the Regaine for Men/Women are the same. The difference lies purely with the instructions and precautions inside. Also, the packaging is designed as “male friendly” or “female friendly” for the customer.

Regaine should be stored at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat of moisture. It is important to keep the product tightly sealed when not in use and to avoid exposing it to temperatures above 25°C.

Any unused or expired Regaine must not be thrown away via wastewater or household waste. Instead, ask your pharmacist how to throw away medicines you no longer use. These measures will help protect the environment.
