About Rogaine
Rogaine is the original brand of Minoxidil, used to treat androgenetic alopecia. The same active ingredient is also sold under the trade name Regaine. Supplied in bottle form with strengths of 5% and 10%, this treatment is manufactured by Johnson & Johnson.
Buying Rogaine online
Rogaine is registered across 14 markets, including Singapore, Hong Kong and Thailand, with wide availability also in Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia. As one of the most ordered treatments across the region, generic Minoxidil, much of which is made in India, offers a far more affordable alternative to the original brand. This ensures reliable access for expats and residents living far from a well stocked retail store.
