What is Regaine Extra Strength
Regaine Extra Strength – 3 months supply of higher strength topical minoxidil that is available in a three-month supply in three 2-fluid ounce bottles. It is the topical ( foam) version of Minoxidil 5%, an FDA-approved medication for male hair loss.
How does it work on men
Minoxidil, the active ingredient in Regaine Extra Strength belongs to the antihypertensive group of medications that works on the potassium channels present in the vascular pathways supplying blood and micronutrients to the hair follicles and through its effects, stimulates microcirculation around the hair follicles.
The process results in improved blood flow and micronutrients to the dermal bulbs added with activation of the prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase-1 enzyme that work on the dermal matrix cells and prolong the anagen phase to improve hair growth.
The recommended method of using Regaine Extra Strength is one ml of the solution applied with a dropper two times daily over the hair loss areas on the scalp.
Who can use Regaine

In individuals dealing with hair loss after hair transplantation surgery
To a moderate extent, in individuals with scarring alopecia or alopecia areata-induced hair loss

Safety and Effectiveness
Regaine Extra Strength is safe as long as it is used under the guidance of the physician. Topical minoxidil has a poor absorption rate and chances are eligible of the drug getting into the bloodstream.
Drug Interactions
Because of its antihypertensive nature, oral Minoxidil present in Regaine Extra Strength can interact with antihypertensives, issues that are negligible with topical minoxidil ( Regaine ) use. Even then, topical minoxidil can be absorbed by the dermal layers and interact with systemic cyclosporine, giving rise to hypertrichosis or unwanted hair in other parts of the body.
Additionally, topical minoxidil can interfere with low-dose aspirin, resulting in an impacted effectiveness of either medication. Inform your GP about your medical history so as to have a safe, undisturbed period of Regaine-aided hair growth.
