Rogaine Side Effects

[M_Mitchell08]

Hi All -

Was talking to my younger brother who tried rogaine and said he noticed side-effects within 15-30 minutes of the first application. What are your thoughts? I told him that the issues for me really started about 3-4 months after use of both rogaine and propecia together, not immediate, although it wasn't until after adding the rogaine until i started seeing side effects.

He wanted to know what I thought he should do (continue or not)? I really don't want him to go through the same issues that I had and continue to recover from, but at the same time I'm not sure if this is even possible. I mean, 30 minutes after applications? Do you think he should try for a week, I don't know how to advise.

Yes, it is possible. It does something with potassium, actually that is the same reason it works for hair growth, can't remember off the top of my head but it modulates potassium channels.

Here is the thread that is was discussed MPB HAIRLOSS/ Shedding is due to the low ratio of lysyl oxidase created Elastin to Elastase which brakes it down.

Rogaine is minoxidil, also know as Loniten. it is a pharma blood pressure medication. so yes, side effects will be noticed quickly. It goes systemic and will work like a blood pressure big pharma medication, that just so happens to have been approved for OTC topical application. Some MD's actually don't believe that topicals don't go systemic...sad.

I didn’t feel well on it. I think it messed up my TRT regimen (pre Fin) and gave me anxiety, poor stress response.

Yeah, I told him I'd probably stay away from it if it were me. Thanks for the follow-up, guys.

I used it for about a year a long time ago, it thickened my hair up, but it blew my face up like a balloon lol...so I dumped it.

I used it for 1 day in 2013 and noticed side effects after the first night. I used it for 90 days or less in 2017 and I'm sure it's bad for skin. I threw it away and my pillows and bed sheets too. Another piece of garbage medication.

Not bad, for me the liquid was way worse than the foam. My eyes had like water bags under them in the morning. The most common combo that is used is RU + minox.
