Pregnancy & Rogaine (Rogaine, Minoxidil)
Post reply

Hey there, i have been using rogaine for many years and it works very well for me. I've been using 5% recently but now want to have a baby (although that can take a while, who knows). The point is, i starting 2% rogaine today and i'm dreading the shed that will come with this huge decrease. but i'm doing it because it will be a lower dose until i find out i'm pregant. that way the first few weeks the baby would be exposed to such a low dose, my gyno & the derm dont' think it' would even be an issue. has anyone else out there had dilemas with pregancy & rogaine? Rogaine has a Category "C" for pregant women which means: "probably safe" for pregant women. Category A is: Definitly Safe & "B" is "very safe". I just hate that i'll have a baby & a bald head, but there are no choices right?? cheryl

膏 used rogaine when I was trying to get pregnant until I found out I was. So basically I used it for three weeks of my pregnancy. My baby (who is now 6) is perfectly fine with a great head of hair . I was more concerned about the few drinks I had consumed before realizing I was pregnant. As soon as I found out I stopped the rogaine and resumed it in the hospital after he was born (I did not breastfeed). I had one bad shed during my 7th month of pregnancy due to being anemic. Good luck, you should be just fine. Glad to hear you are on the 5% as I had GREAT results with 5% and not much with 2%.

Suzy, i am so happy to hear from you & about your news & your kid! i do have some questions though. you know, last week i went down to the 2% b/c i thought it would be less risky for that first few weeks of pregnancy. but really, it could take me a while to get pregant so i wonder now if i should go back to the 5% after hearing your story. 5% was working GREAT for me too (so happy about that). Also, did you not breast feed b/c of the rogaine issue? i am thinking of not breastfeeding soley so i can go right back to the rogaine. also, did you have a crazy shed when you re-started the rogaine after you gave birth? you are an inpiration to me, i now think i can go back on the 5%! how is your hair now? i hope you have a big fat head of hair cheryl.

膏 started rogaine 2% in 1998 with very minimal results. I started 5% in 2002 and after nine months had great regrowth and hair was very thick. So yes I would recommend rogaine 5% to anyone who has aga. I hear the foam is even better than 5% liquid so I'm making that transition at the moment.

I would go back to the 5% if I were you. It is a lot better than the 2%. I did not have a shed when I restarted it after the pregnancy. I did not breastfeed for a few reasons and one of them was my hair. I know some people would think that is awful but losing my hair and being depressed is not good for me or my child. My endo (who is also a hair loss specialist) told me that breastfeeding is one of the worse things for hair. I have never heard that before so please take it for what it is worth. Good luck!!!! Also, my child is 6 and very very healthy without breastfeeding!

I am 30 years old and I use minoxidil with great results since I was 24.
Now I want to become pregnant and I have a few questions.
Can minoxidil harm the unborn child when you are pregnant ? I read different opinions about this issue.
The other question; can you use minoxidil with the samen results only once a day instead of twice ?

thank you

Minoxidil is a Category C drug and hence should be avoided during pregnancy.
Though the absorption of topical minoxidil, it is still bettre to avoid it during pregnancy.

Pregnancy & Rogaine facts

Minoxidil is a potent antihypertensive peripheral vasodilator. Information on its use in human pregnancy is very limited, with only four occurrences of fetal exposure located in the medical literature (1,2 and 3).

In one case, minoxidil was used throughout gestation, and no effect of this exposure was seen in the healthy newborn (1). A second case involved a mother with a history of renal artery stenosis and malignant hypertension who was treated throughout gestation with minoxidil, captopril, and propranolol (2). Three of her four previous pregnancies had ended in midgestation stillbirths. The most recent stillbirth, her fourth pregnancy, involved a 500-g male infant with low-set ears but no gross anomalies. The mother had been treated with the above regimen plus furosemide. In her second pregnancy, she had been treated only with hydrochlorothiazide, and she had delivered a normal term infant. No information was available on the first and third pregnancies, both of which ended in stillbirths. In her current pregnancy, daily doses of the three drugs were 10 mg, 50 mg, and 160 mg, respectively. The infant, delivered by cesarean section at 38 weeks' gestation, had multiple abnormalities, including an omphalocele (repaired on the 2nd day), pronounced hypertrichosis of the back and extremities, depressed nasal bridge, low-set ears, micrognathia, bilateral fifth finger clinodactyly, undescended testes, a circumferential midphallic constriction, a large ventriculoseptal defect, and a brain defect consisting of slightly prominent sulci, especially the basal cisterns and interhemispheric fissure. Growth retardation was not evident, but the weight (3170 g, 60th percentile), length (46 cm, 15th percentile), and head circumference (32.5 cm, 25th percentile) were disproportionate. Neurologic, skeletal, and kidney examinations were normal. Marked hypotension (3050 mm Hg systolic) was present, which resolved after 24 hours. Heart rate, blood glucose, and renal function were normal. The infant's hospital course was marked by failure to thrive, congestive heart failure, prolonged physiologic jaundice, and eight episodes of hyperthermia (>38.5C without apparent cause) between 2 and 6 weeks of age. The hypertrichosis, which was much less prominent at 2 months of age, is a known side effect of minoxidil therapy in both children and adults, and the condition in this infant was thought to be caused by that drug (2). The cause of the other defects could not be determined, but a chromosomal abnormality was excluded based on a normal male karyotype (46,XY) determined after a midgestation amniocentesis.

Two additional cases of in utero exposure to minoxidil were reported to the FDA and published in 1987 (3). The first infant was the product of a 32-week gestation in a 22-year-old woman with severe uncontrolled renal hypertension who was treated during pregnancy with minoxidil, methyldopa, hydralazine, furosemide, and phenobarbital. The 1770-g infant died of congenital heart disease the day after delivery. Defects noted at autopsy were transposition of the great vessels and pulmonic bicuspid valvular stenosis. Hypertrichosis was not observed. No conclusions can be drawn on the cause of the cardiac defects. The second infant, delivered near term and weighing 3220 g, was exposed throughout gestation to minoxidil (5 mg/day) plus metoprolol (100 mg/day) and prazosin (20 mg/day). The mother had severe hypertension secondary to chronic nephritis. Hypertrichosis was evident in both the mother and the newborn, but no other abnormalities were noted in the infant. The excessive hair growth, which was longest in the sacral area, gradually disappeared during the following 23 months. Normal development was noted at 2 years of age.

The 1770-g infant died of congenital heart disease the day after delivery. Defects noted at autopsy were transposition of the great vessels and pulmonic bicuspid valvular stenosis. Hypertrichosis was not observed. No conclusions can be drawn on the cause of the cardiac defects. The second infant, delivered near term and weighing 3220 g, was exposed throughout gestation to minoxidil (5 mg/day) plus metoprolol (100 mg/day) and prazosin (20 mg/day). The mother had severe hypertension secondary to chronic nephritis. Hypertrichosis was evident in both the mother and the newborn, but no other abnormalities were noted in the infant. The excessive hair growth, which was longest in the sacral area, gradually disappeared during the following 23 months. Normal development was noted at 2 years of age.
