Has anyone experienced high or raised cholesterol from using oral Minoxidil/Loniten?

I just got my labs back and my cholesterol is high for the first time ever. I have been ingesting topical Minoxidil for the past 8 months or so.

I am 56 and I do have a family history of high cholesterol and I do eat a ton of bad food (lots of eggs, cheese, processed foods, treats, etc.).

Since you’re not actually suffering from Androgenetic Alopecia why not just take a break from minoxidil and get blood work done again?

Your family history/genetics/diet would make much more sense as a cause of your results. I’ve only read of one study where minoxidil actually had a beneficial effect on cholesterol levels:

The effect of once-daily minoxidil on blood pressure and plasma lipids - PubMed

Once-daily minoxidil administration was added to the treatment regimen of 11 patients with hypertension that was inadequately controlled by nadolol 160 mg and chlorthalidone 50 mg given once daily. Additional diuretic therapy was needed by five patients. During treatment without minoxidil and at...

There's no correlation between cholesterol and LDOM (low dose oral minoxidil) afaik.

Results: A total of 1404 patients (943 women [67.2%] and 461 men [32.8%]) with a mean age of 43 years (range 8-86) were included. The dose of LDOM was titrated in 1065 patients, allowing the analysis of 2469 different cases. The most frequent adverse effect was hypertrichosis (15.1%), which led to treatment withdrawal in 14 patients (0.5%). Systemic adverse effects included lightheadedness (1.7%), fluid retention (1.3%), tachycardia (0.9%), headache (0.4%), periorbital edema (0.3%), and insomnia (0.2%), leading to drug discontinuation in 29 patients (1.2%). No life-threatening adverse effects were observed

OK. I couldn't find anything that connected Minoxidil use with higher cholesterol. Just want to make sure that is not what is causing it. I will explore other potential causes.

Shitty diet and exercise

 

[Lumalux]

I get plenty-o-exercise. Tons of cardio in form of running and mountain biking. But I eat absolutely everything I want - candy, cheese, cakes, processed pastries, fast food hamburgers, macaroni and cheese, everything. I have always been able to do it without gaining weight but it is finally catching up to me.

Yeah and diet is honestly more important as far as cholesterol
