Meanwhile the effect of minoxidil on hair loss prevention was so clear that in the 1980s physicians were prescribing Loniten off-label to their balding patients.[25]

In August 1988, the FDA finally approved the drug for treating baldness in men[25][29] under the trade name "Rogaine" (FDA rejected Upjohn's first choice, Regain, as misleading[30]). The agency concluded that although "the product will not work for everyone", 39% of the men studied had "moderate to dense hair growth on the crown of the head".[30]

In 1991, Upjohn made the product available for women.[29]

On February 12, 1996, the FDA approved both the over-the-counter sale of the drug and the production of generic formulations of minoxidil.[25] Upjohn replied to that by lowering prices to half the price of the prescription drug[29] and by releasing a prescription 5% formula of Rogaine in 1997.[25]

In 1998, a 5% formulation of minoxidil was approved for nonprescription sale by the FDA.[31]

As of 2014, it was the only topical product that is FDA-approved for androgenic hair loss.[5]

The drug is available over the counter in many countries, including United Kingdom,[4] (topical only) United States, (topical only) Sweden and Germany (available from registered pharmacies only).

Schade, dass es dazu keine Dokumentation gibt, hätte ich mir gerne angesehen.

Eigtl sollte es ja nun im AGA-Museum sein aber es ist noch immer das non plus ultra

Indem alter habe ich mir über Haarausfall keinerlei Gedanken gemacht. Wenn jemand eine Glatze hatte, dachte ich das sei seine freiwillige Entscheidung. Und ich konnte überhaupt nicht verstehen wieso jemand freiwillig auf seine Haare verzichten sollte
