During the course of the normal hair growth cycle, shedding takes place. About 100 hairs are shed per day in a healthy individual, and this just means that the telogen phase has ended and anagen is next. When shedding takes place while on hair growth treatments, including Rogaine, the reason is the same. Rogaine and Propecia – the only two FDA-approved baldness treatments on the market – both bring your hair from the resting phase to the active growth phase. They do this in different ways, but the end result of both is excess shedding.

Oral minoxidil was found to be an effective and well-tolerated treatment alternative for healthy patients having difficulty with topical formulations.

Minoxidil 2% and 5% are the only solutions which are currently FDA-approved for the treatment of hair loss in humans. More studies are required on the benefits and dangers of minoxidil 10% as it is NOT an FDA-approved dosage. Do see a doctor before you proceed with treatment.

Never heard of minoxidil having sexual side effects.
