Regaine for Men is a treatment for hereditary hair loss (alopecia androgenetica or male pattern baldness) in men. The systemic absorption of minoxidil from a 5% solution formulation has been estimated in a pharmacokinetic study in subjects with androgenetic alopecia, which included 5% topical foam as a comparator. This demonstrated that in men, the systemic absorption of minoxidil from twice daily application of 5% minoxidil solution was about twice that, as observed with 5% minoxidil foam. The mean steady state AUC (0-12 hr) and Cmax for 5% minoxidil foam, 8.81 ng·hr/mL and 1.11 ng/mL, respectively, were both approximately 50 % of AUC (0-12 hr) and Cmax of the 5% solution, 18.71 ng·hr/mL and 2.13 ng/mL, respectively. The time to maximum minoxidil concentration (Tmax) for the 5% solution, 5.79 hr, was similar to Tmax for the 5% foam, 5.42 hr. If you're using Regaine foam you should apply 1g of the foam (this is equivalent to about the volume of half a capful of the foam) to the affected areas of the scalp twice a day. Use your fingertips to massage the foam into the entire bald area. Clinically Proven - The active ingredient in Regaine is Minoxidil; the only OTC active ingredient that is clinically proven to help stop and even reverse hereditary hair loss and hair thinning in men.

Minoxidil was first used in tablet form as a medicine to treat high blood pressure. It lowers blood pressure by dilating the blood vessels. It was noticed that some people taking minoxidil experienced excessive hair growth as a side effect, and further research showed that hair growth could be stimulated by applying a solution of minoxidil directly to the scalp. The systemic absorption of minoxidil from a 5% foam formulation has been estimated in a pharmacokinetic study in subjects with androgenetic alopecia, which included 5% topical solution as a comparator. This demonstrated that in men, the systemic absorption of minoxidil from twice daily application of 5% minoxidil foam was about half of that observed with 5% minoxidil solution. The mean steady state AUC (0-12 hr) and Cmax for 5% minoxidil foam, 8.81 ng·hr/mL and 1.11 ng/mL, respectively, were both approximately 50 % of AUC (0-12 hr) and Cmax of the 5% solution, 18.71 ng·hr/mL and 2.13 ng/mL, respectively. The time to maximum minoxidil concentration (Tmax) for the 5% foam, 5.42 hr, was similar to Tmax for the 5% solution, 5.79 hr. There is some evidence from in vitro studies that minoxidil reversibly binds to human plasma proteins. However, since only 1 – 2% of topically applied minoxidil is absorbed, the extent of plasma protein binding occurring in vivo after topical application would be clinically insignificant. The volume of distribution of minoxidil after intravenous administration has been estimated at 70 litres. Regaine will not work for everyone and it's not possible to predict individual responses. However, younger men who have been losing hair for a short period of time or have a small area of baldness may be more likely to see results than men who have been losing hair for many years or who have a large area of baldness.
