What are the side effects from using Rogaine?
The most common side effects associated with using Rogaine are an itchy scalp, scaling and irritation of the scalp. Since Rogaine is a topical solution, systemic side effects are only infrequently observed. To help keep irritation to a minimum, use a mild shampoo like Progaine. In the event that you experience an itchy or flaky scalp from using Rogaine, stop using Rogaine for a few days until your scalp heals. Then use a moisturizing shampoo and be sure to wash your hair daily as you start using Rogaine again.
