A potential RogaineĀ® user contacted rogaine.com web site by email. This is the actual reply to the customer's question about the necessity of continuing to use Minoxidil (for the rest of one's life):
There are currently no known drug interactions associated with the use of Rogaine. Although it has not been clinically demonstrated, there exists the theoretical possibility of absorbed minoxidil potentiating orthostatic hypotension in patients currently taking peripheral vasodilators. In vitro studies have shown that paracetamol and diethylcarbamazine may inhibit the stimulation of hair growth by minoxidil.
