Title: HRT and Rogaine
Post by: ChiGirl on August 07, 2015, 10:15:25 AM

Has anyone here used Rogaine prior to starting HRT? I've been using it about 5 months (and I've had some regrowth), but I was curious if I should discontinue it when I start HRT. I know I can ask my doctor next week, but I thought I'd gather some info.

Thanks,
Charlotte

Rogaine has nothing to do with your hormons. Why do you want to stop it? Many women are taking it. If you have regrowth you should continue it.

Thanks, Lara. I wasn't sure.

You may want to ask the doctor about Rogaine and finasteride (or dutasterid) and HRT.

I started Rogaine prior hrt and I take it still. I habe some regrowth there I use it. I use the 5% solution once daily I I think about taking it only every other day. But I have some fears regarding loosing the regrowth.

You could try a combination with dermaroller

and maybe its possibly to phase out rogaine... there should be literature on that...
