    TLDR Minoxidil's crystal structure shows two different molecule shapes and nitrogen states.
    The study detailed the crystal structure of Minoxidil, an antialopecia agent, revealing that it belonged to the space group P21 with specific cell dimensions. The research found two crystallographically independent molecules in an asymmetric unit, which adopted significantly different conformations. Additionally, the nitrogen atoms in the piperidine rings exhibited markedly different hybridization states in these molecules.

      community Extreme shedding after ~1 year on 5% topical minoxidil — normal or problem?

      in Minoxidil  3 upvotes 1 week ago
      A 17-year-old using 5% topical minoxidil experienced significant hair shedding after a year, possibly due to a "synchronization shed" and deficiencies in vitamin D and iron. Recommendations include continuing minoxidil, optimizing vitamin D and iron levels, and reducing tretinoin use if scalp irritation occurs.
