Senior Member western_star Posted July 7, 2004 Senior Member Share Posted July 7, 2004 What else is Rogaine used for. Can it be used for artiritic symptoms? Reason I'm asking is because I need to ask Dr at VA. If it is I can get free prescriptions. I know it helps hair but I sure hope it helps prostate or artiritic conditions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Smoothy Posted July 7, 2004 Senior Member Share Posted July 7, 2004 To my knowlege Rogain does not help arthitis or prostate. Rogain is basically a hypertensive drug that when developed for high blood pressure didnt work that great but had a side effect of growing hair with some of the subject-- then the company Upjohn (now Pfizer) begin testing it for hairloss. As far as prostate--you might be thinking of propecia which in the larger 5mg amount is called Proscar and it IS indicated for the prostate- BPH.
