Is It Safe To Use Rogaine Foam For Hair Loss When On Cancer Treatment?
I am 58 years old and have been taking Arimidex for 5.5 years following breast cancer. I have been loosing my hair and have been told to start using Rogaine 5% foam B.I.D. Are there any side effects that I should be aware of? I have to continue using Arimidex for another 4.5 years.
Rogaine (Minoxidil) is used as topical local application and can cause allergic contact dermatitis (eczema). It causes tendinitis in some cases (inflammation of tendons) but the frequency is very low. As such it is safe to use with Arimidex with no known interactions with the drug.
