Minoxidil*

Minoxidil is the first of the drugs approved for hair loss. Introduced in 1988 after the FDA gave its approval, Rogaine has been an effective medication for hair loss in both men and women. The topical formulation is now available in 2% and 5% strengths, and has been over-the-counter since 1996. The treatment is a hair growth stimulator and works by activating potassium channels in follicular cells. Numerous clinical studies have been done and reported for both hair growth and hair maintenance end points. This product is only effective in the case of adrogenetic alopecia, or male/female pattern hair loss. It would not be effective for hair loss due to chemotherapy, stress, malnutrition, or alopecia areata.
