Posted under Rogaine q&a

Is there a pill that substitutes for Rogaine?

alelaj
I have been applying Rogaine (liquid form) on the scalp of my head for over a year now. It has worked very well. However, my issue is the flakes that I find my hair. Is there a pill that could substitute Rogaine. I have heard of Loniten (Minoxidil in pill form), but I have been told that pill is risky because it could cause problems in the heart. Please let me know if Loniten is a good option. If not, are there any other pills that could substitute Rogaine and be less risky?
