Hi, I have been using Rogaine for around 2 years now on my hair line only, but have recently got a cat and found put it is toxic to it so might look to stop, I had a hair transplant about 18 months ago and also on propecia and results have worked extremely well. Will coming off Rogaine cause hair loss? I trust the transplant and the propecia have worked more than the Rogaine but I don't want to stop it and my hair fall into a shedding phase

Answer: Stopping Rogaine Hair Loss

I don't see Tretinoin improving this condition, nor will Minoxidil make a substantial difference. Yes, fine baby hairs, but not much more. You'll need to limit the tension/traction. Hair Restoration may also be a solution.
There are several medications which may help slow down your hair loss. Minoxidil is probably not one of them however as I have rarely seen great results with it.
