Subj: Nioxin on the banned list?
Date: 10/24/2009
Please advise whether any ingredient in the Nioxin hair loss products are on the banned list for elite sports people.
Peter

AskDocWeb: The banned list for sports people deals with the use and misuse of performance-enhancing substances. We have not seen any performance-enhancing ingredients in Nioxin.

My wife started using Nioxin scalp therapy after recent heavy hair fall. Surprisingly new hair generation started without any side affects.

Subj: Thinning getting worse
Date: 1/26/2010
I am 34 and started noticing some thinning of the hair about six months ago. I then started to use Nioxin shampoo and scalp therapy. I use it continually except when on holidays which usually last about 2 weeks at a time. About a month ago, I have noticed the thinning getting worse and hair loss increasing. I have also started to experience itchy scalp and dandruff. I have seen a dermatologist who has suggested discontinuing the use of Nioxin and trying Regaine for women 2%. I am about to start using Regaine but after reading some of the comments on this site, am unsure if I should just wait to see the effects of stopping the use of Nioxin. I have also started taking multivitamins about 3 months ago.

Date: 2/15/2010
I have had the Nioxin scalp treatment at my hair dresser and I use the #3 shampoo and Conditionor and #2 shot treatment..but my question is..I have read the responses on causing cancer..but my question is..can it also cause your blood pressure to go up..I have never had high blood pressure but..I have noticed that since I have been using the Nioxin products that whenever I would go to the Dr..by BP would be up...I have never had high BP in my life until recently and I had and LPN at work tell me that that she had been told that the Nioxin products will cause this..so is this true...and if I discontinue using the product will my hair began to fall out again? Thank You,
Nita

I have used Nioxin for at least seven months. My hair has filled in where thin and is thicker. I love it but now I am concerned that some ingredients may cause cancer. I am a Leukemia survior!!!! My concern is great, cannot get a clear answer. Think I will see if Mayo Clinic has anything to say.

AskDocWeb: The makers of Nioxin could clear this up if they would come out with a statement that says that they remove the contaminant 1,4-dioxane from their product. So far they are very quiet on this subject.

Subj: High blood pressure?
Date: 3/4/2010
Can anyone tell me if Nioxin has been linked to high blood pressure...I have been using Nioxin for over a year and I have never had high blood pressure until about 10 months ago..my BP has always run 17/122 over 76/80....4 months after having the scalp treatments and using the shampoo/conditioner/and leave in shot my BP was 132/84...I went to the dr backin Feb and my BP was 154/96...which is very high..so I never had this until I started using this product...I have stopped using it for now but I would like some kind of feed back on this...please.

AskDocWeb: The manufacturer does not list high blood pressure as one of the possible side effects of Nioxin.

Subj: Itchy scalp
Date: 3/8/2010
I have been using Nioxin off and on for over ten years. I have not experience any problems. However, with my last use I did notice an itachy scalp. I didn't associate it with Nioxin until now, when I read some of the feedbacks. It would be nice to know for sure or not if this product causes illnesses. Too expensive just to toss out without knowing. I'll just hold on to my supply (but won't use) until I find more info.

Subj: Migraine headaches

I've been using the Nioxin 1 treatment for about almost 5 months now. About 10 weeks ago, I started getting migraine headaches. I wondered if any of your other readers have experienced this.

Subj: Weight gain
Date: 4/23/2010
Does Nioxon affect weight loss? I've noticed since I started the vitamin my weight has increased with no change of diet or exercise.
Jamal

AskDocWeb: There are no reports of gaining weight while using Nioxin.

I have currently been using nioxin for 2 days and have not had side effects like everyone else. I have had really bad headaches and nausea the morning after. Also have experienced a fast heart beat and shortness of breath. As of today I am discontinuing the product and will be trying to get an appointment with my doctor. Please let me know if you have any advise.
