Minoxidil 5% Once-Daily Hair Loss & Hair Regrowth Treatment For Women
Regaine For Women Foam 73ml is a once-daily topical hair loss treatment containing minoxidil 5% w/w (50mg/g). It is licensed in the UK for hereditary female pattern hair loss, medically known as androgenetic alopecia, in women aged 18–65. Apply approximately half a capful (1g) to affected areas of a completely dry scalp once daily. Visible hair growth may take around 12–24 weeks, and continued daily use is required to maintain regrowth.
Regaine For Women Once A Day Scalp Foam 5% w/w Cutaneous Foam is a topical medicinal product containing 50mg of minoxidil per gram of foam.
It is indicated for the treatment of alopecia androgenetica in women aged 18–65, also called female pattern hair loss.
Female pattern hair loss commonly produces a gradual reduction in hair density and widening of the central parting. Individual response to treatment varies and cannot be predicted.
What Is Regaine For Women Foam 73ml?
Regaine For Women Foam 1 x 73ml is a topical minoxidil 5% hair loss treatment for women experiencing hereditary female pattern hair loss.
The condition is medically known as androgenetic alopecia and commonly appears as progressive thinning across the top of the scalp or widening of the parting.
Regaine For Women Foam contains minoxidil 50mg/g (5% w/w) and is applied directly to affected areas of the scalp once daily.
Unlike cosmetic volumising products that temporarily make hair appear thicker, Regaine contains an active medicinal ingredient that acts on susceptible hair follicles and the natural hair-growth cycle.
It is licensed for women aged 18–65 years with female pattern hair loss.
Available from Dock Pharmacy UK, with clear, patient-friendly medicine information to help customers understand how to use their treatment safely and consistently.
How Does Regaine For Women Foam Work?
The exact mechanism by which topical minoxidil stimulates hair growth is not completely understood.
However, minoxidil can help reverse elements of the androgenetic hair-loss process by encouraging affected follicles to move from the resting telogen phase into the active anagen growth phase.
This can help:
- Stimulate active hair growth
- Increase hair density
- Improve scalp coverage
- Increase the diameter of growing hairs
- Support weakened or miniaturised follicles
- Maintain new growth while treatment continues
Clinical trials of once-daily 5% minoxidil foam in women demonstrated improvements in non-vellus hair count and scalp coverage compared with the foam vehicle.
Benefits of Regaine For Women Foam
- Treats hereditary female pattern hair loss
- Contains clinically established minoxidil 5%

- Helps stimulate susceptible hair follicles
- Supports active hair growth
- Can increase hair density and diameter
- Helps improve scalp coverage
- Suitable for women aged 18–65 when clinically appropriate

In a 24-week placebo-controlled study, women using once-daily 5% minoxidil foam showed significantly greater improvement in hair count and scalp coverage than women using the inactive foam vehicle.
How to Use Regaine For Women Foam
Regaine Foam is for external use on the scalp only.
Make sure your hair and scalp are completely dry before applying the medicine.
Wash your hands before application.
Hold the can upside down and dispense approximately half a capful of foam, equivalent to 1g, onto your fingers or hand.
Apply the foam across the affected areas of the scalp.
Gently massage it into the scalp using your fingertips.
Use once daily.
Wash your hands thoroughly after application.
Allow the foam to dry naturally before following your normal styling routine.
Do not use more than 1g per day. Using additional foam or applying it more frequently will not make your hair grow faster and may increase the risk of side effects.
How Long Does Regaine For Women Foam Take to Work?
Hair growth is naturally slow.
The UK product licence states that 12–24 weeks of once-daily treatment may be required before evidence of hair growth can be expected.
Regaine UK advises that clinically visible results may be seen from around 12 weeks in some women.
Individual responses vary.
If there is no improvement after 24 weeks, treatment should be discontinued.
If hair regrowth occurs, once-daily treatment must continue to maintain the effect.
Temporary Hair Shedding After Starting Regaine
Some women notice increased shedding during the first few weeks of treatment.
This can happen because minoxidil shifts hairs from the resting phase into the active growth phase. Older hairs are shed as follicles begin a new growth cycle.
This temporary increase in shedding generally occurs around 2–6 weeks after starting treatment and usually settles within a couple of weeks.
If increased shedding continues for more than two weeks, stop treatment and consult your doctor.
Side Effects of Regaine For Women Foam
Like all medicines, Regaine can cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them.
Possible side effects include:
- Headache
- Scalp itching or irritation
- Redness
- Dry or irritated skin
- Temporary increased hair shedding
- Changes in hair colour or texture
- Unwanted hair growth outside the treatment area
- Dizziness
- Palpitations
- Increased heart rate
- Chest pain

Stop using Regaine and seek medical advice if you experience chest pain, rapid heartbeat, faintness, significant dizziness, unexplained weight gain, swollen hands or feet, persistent scalp redness or irritation, or other unexpected symptoms.
Seek urgent medical help if you develop swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat or other symptoms of a serious allergic reaction.
