Minoxidil is used or was used as a last resort for uncontrolled hypertension. Tamponade, rebound HTN and other SEs. People worry about it because in higher doses there can be issues with side effects. Those SEs are very sourcable, my new word, available from many sources. When taken in low doses, say for example, do your own research, 1.25mg daily for 2-3 weeks then increasing to 2.5mg daily that dose not seem to cause but minor effects on BP from what I read and better results of hair growth vs topical formulations. Estradiol blogger says the forehead has shown good results with oral Minoxidil. I don't remember the MOA of Minoxidil except the basic principle that NO is released to dilate the vascular via potassium channel modulation.
