~ While you are using Regaine®

  • If you are going to have any laboratory tests (e.g. blood or urine), tell your doctor that you are using Regaine®. It is also important to tell your doctor that you are using Regaine® if your doctor is going to prescribe for you another type of medicine to take at the same time as using Regaine®.

  • If after 6 months of using Regaine® no hair growth is seen, you should talk to your pharmacist or doctor about stopping the treatment as any gain from continued treatment is likely to be small.

  • Do not change your dose of Regaine® or stop using it without first asking your pharmacist or doctor for advice.

  • Do not use Regaine® more than two times a day, and do not use more solution than your pharmacist or doctor tells you to.

  • Regaine® is for external use only. Never take Regaine® orally to help hair growth. This could lead to serious side effects.

  • Do not apply Regaine® to any area of the body other than the scalp.

  • It is not necessary to shampoo before applying Regaine®, however if you do wash your hair wait until your hair is absolutely dry before using Regaine® as it must be applied to a dry scalp. A hair dryer may be used to dry your hair after you have washed it, but do not use it to dry the Regaine® solution. As Regaine® needs to be in contact with your scalp for at least four hours at a time, do not wash or wet your scalp for at least four hours after use.

  • Avoid contact with the eyes and irritated skin. If there is accidental contact of Regaine® to your eyes, mouth, nose, ears, or broken or irritated skin, bathe the area with large amounts of cool tap water.

  • Use of Regaine® in conjunction with other products should be discussed with your pharmacist or doctor
