Rogaine (Minoxidil) is Not Available in my Country, Where Can I Order it Online?

This common question comes from a member of our [tag]hair loss[/tag] social community and discussion forums:

I’m want to start using [tag]Rogaine[/tag] ([tag]minoxidil[/tag]) to stabilize my hair loss, but it’s not available for purchase in my country. Is there a trusted site where I can order it online?

First, and foremost, I think it is important to discuss the idea of ordering medication online. There are two very important distinctions with regard to [tag]hair loss medications[/tag]: prescription medications and non-prescription (“over the counter”) medications.

Prescriptions medications are medications which require the authorization of a trained physician, and these (in my opinion) should not be ordered online without a valid order from a certified doctor. [tag]Propecia[/tag] ([tag]finasteride[/tag]) falls into this category of [tag]hair loss drugs[/tag].

Non-prescription medications are therapies available without a written prescription or evaluation from a physician. Although it’s always best to consult with a trusted physician before starting any medication (prescription or otherwise), these drugs do not require physician authorization, and therefore can usually be purchased “over the counter” in a store or ordered online. Rogaine (minoxidil) falls into this category of [tag]hair loss therapies[/tag].

However, although minoxidil can be ordered online, it should still be ordered from a trusted, reviewed site. Knowing this, I always personally recommend that [tag]hair loss sufferers[/tag] living in countries without easy access to minoxidil/Rogaine order the product from our online hair loss treatment shop.

If individuals would like to order minoxidil from a different source, it’s important to make sure it is reviewed and trusted. Additionally, it’s always best to discuss any hair loss medication regimen with a [tag]hair restoration physician[/tag] before ordering it online.
