Makers of Rogaine Revolutionize the Hair Loss Treatment Industry Once Again


New, innovative foam application is fast, easy and convenient  

Pfizer Consumer Healthcare announced today that makers of Rogaine® have once again revolutionized the hair loss treatment industry with the debut of New Men's Rogaine® Foam.

The first of its kind, Rogaine® Foam provides a new, improved formula that delivers the same FDA-approved active topical ingredient found in Rogaine® Solution -- minoxidil -- without mess or fuss.

The unique, lightweight formulation dries quickly, applies easily and is simple to incorporate into an everyday grooming routine.

Dr. Jeffrey Miller, associate professor and vice chair, department of dermatology at The Milton S. Hershey Medical Center of the Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine, notes, "Fifty million men in the United States experience male pattern baldness, but many avoid treating the condition because the current options are often too cumbersome and time consuming."

Rogaine® Foam changes that.

"We invested significant time and resources into the new foam formulation in order to evolve with our consumers' changing lifestyles," explains Rogaine® brand manager Tarun Malkani. "Men want to do something about regrowing their hair, but not if it means adding time to their grooming regimen. Applying the no-drip foam is fast, easy and effective -- a perfect fit for their on-the-go lifestyle."

"The foam disappears into the skin quickly with gentle rubbing and deposits the active ingredient -- minoxidil -- directly to the target site, without dripping," explains Dr. Miller. "This hassle free delivery system will encourage user compliance and give patients an attractive new option for hair regrowth."

Dr. Miller continues, "With 40% of men showing some degree of hair loss by age 35 and half of all men experiencing hair loss by age 50, Rogaine® Foam provides a practical answer for the millions of 'no-frills' guys who want to look their best, but don't want to add time to their routine."

Men's Rogaine® Foam will be available starting in September 2006 at mass-market drug stores and grocery stores nationwide and online at http://www.Rogaine.com.

Average retail price is $24.99 per box for a one month supply.
