Wasn't minoxidil originally a heart medicine or something? It was accidentally found out that it also grows hair but no one really knows how.

Probably due to drop in blood pressure... drug is a vasodilator and can affect blood pressure.

Gonna go with a drop in blood pressure....or perhaps retaining water in the head/face may contribute also.

:agree:


I makes your blood pressure drop. This is what causes people to black out and faint in most situations not just as a result of minoxidil.

minoxidil was actually originally developed as an oral medicine to lower blood pressure then they noticed a side effect was hair growth, so they made into a topical.
