HELP! Possible minoxidil side effects.

[paulwojnicki]

Ji i seem to remember reading somewhere here that minoxidil can cause a swelling of the face. i seem to be getting a fatter face recently and wondered whether this could be down to the minoxidil. (then again it may be down to the increased consumption of beer).

Anyone else noticed this side effect?

Cheers.

No, I haven't experienced that.

Water retention is one of the side effects. I read about it a lot. Try lowering dosages, you may be overdosing.

This belongs in the minoxidil forum.

If you didn't know it was a side effect, would you have even noticed it?
