How long do the effects of Rogaine last?

Question

Do the effects of Rogaine stay with you even after you stop using the treatment? Or is it like any other medicine where you have to keep using the product to keep enjoying the benefits/effects of the treatment?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Rogaine will stop working if you stop using it.  You cannot use Rogaine, grow hair then stop.  If you stop using Rogaine, the hairs that grew will fall out.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

Minoxidil (Rogaine) effects last up to 1 month, although the medications are out of your body well before that time frame. The hair that grows from Minoxidil, will become dependent upon it and when the drug is withdrawn, it will disappear.
