Rogaine is actually a medicated lotion that is used to treat baldness or hair loss. Those who are regular users of the medicine will not have any side effects but the beginners can have Rogaine side effects that seem to be serious sometime. It was in the year 1996 that the medicine was given the license so that it could be sold from every counter. Those who are using it since a long time and are use to it may have some simple Rogaine side effects as itching but the beginners can get affected seriously. The basic side effects are itching, redness, dryness and flaking.
The Rogaine side effects seem to be serious sometimes resulting in chest pains, headaches, fainting and even breathing difficulties. The lotion actually contains the Minoxidil drug that works better on persons having low blood pressure. The drug actually relaxes blood vessels to make the blood circulation easier. Though it is applied to increase the growth of hair but one of the important Rogaine side effects is hair loss. It makes the hair weak and finally it starts falling in a fast rate. The best way is to consult with a doctor before you start applying the lotion as he can suggest you whether or not you should apply the lotion. Another important Rogaine side effect is the formation of greasy hair. After using the lotion for some day you will find your hair greasy and sticky that becomes difficult to manage.
The Rogaine foam that recently came in the market can be responsible for many Rogaine side effects. The foam is not for the women but is only for men. For majority of user’s Rogaine side effects may only result in some scalp irritation and nothing more serious. So it is very important that you should consult with a doctor before you start the process.
