This article was published on behalf of Dr. Shapiro but he does not receive updated comments. If you experienced dizziness from a single application of Rogaine I highly recommend consulting with your physician prior to using it again. I also suggest posing your question in a discussion thread on our Hair Restoration Forum and social network. Many of our recommended physicians participate regularly and may be able to answer your question regarding ibuprofen.

I applied 1ml Minoxidil 5% solution to my head and found that I suffered dizzyness/light headed sensation only, no heart issues.

I had taken ibuprofen that day also (which i think also lowers blood pressure) – could that have caused it? I am worried I may be causing harm to myself if I use Minoxidil again. I was thinking of trying a half ml topical application with no other drugs being used to see?

Thanks,

The dizziness you’re experiencing should go away upon stopping Rogaine and I don’t believe it would have any permanent affect on your hearing. However, be sure to speak with your physician about your concerns and I’m sure he/she will help to alleviate them.

I did not notice my dizzness until I had a bad fall and injuried many parts of my body. My question is if the dizzness will go away if I stop using Rogaine or Rogaine does have a permanent affect on my hearing structure and i need to see my physician to treat it. How does Regaine cause the dizziness?

Thanks.
