Mastering Minoxidil - How to Use it and What to Expect by Maggie Kay

- The oral form of minoxidil can increase heart rate, cause fluid retention and weight gain and can cause a decrease in blood pressure. Therefore, patients with significant coronary problems should not use this medication.

- The high alcohol base in Minoxidil can cause irritation to the eyes.

- The side effects of Minoxidil include skin irritation, hives, itchiness, swelling and sensitivity.

- The use of Minoxidil may cause a temporary increase in hair loss during the first few weeks of treatment. This shedding period, however, is a natural part of the hair growth cycle.

Minoxidil can only be purchased by prescription.
