Interactions
- Other products on the scalp: Do not use Regaine Frauen at the same time as other medicines on the scalp or under covering (occlusive) dressings. Products that increase absorption through the skin should also not be used together with it on the scalp.
- Tretinoin and dithranol: These active substances increase the absorption of minoxidil through the skin.
- Betamethasone dipropionate: It increases the minoxidil concentration in the tissue at the application site and reduces absorption into the blood.
- Vasodilating medicines: If you take vasodilating medicines at the same time, absorbed minoxidil could theoretically intensify a drop in blood pressure on standing up (orthostatic hypotension). This has not been clinically proven.
- Blood-pressure-lowering medicines: Regaine Frauen should not be used if you have high blood pressure, even if it is being treated with medicines, or if you have cardiovascular disease or heart rhythm disorders.
