Rogaine (chemical name Minoxidil) is one of only two officially approved hair loss treatments in the US and EU. There are a number of mechanisms via how Minoxidil works to grow hair. Nowadays, most people use Rogaine 5% Minoxidil Foam rather than topical Minoxidil. Some people prefer to use high-strength Minoxidil.
The instructions on the packaging tell male users to apply Rogaine foam twice per day. However, many people choose to apply it just once per day instead.
There is some evidence that once a day use of Rogaine (Minoxidil 2% or 5%) is almost as effective as using it twice per day. Although the elimination half-life of Minoxidil is just 3-4 hours, the hypotensive impact of the medication can persist for up to 72 hours.
