    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.

      The user is using RU58841, Minoxidil, and weekly microneedling for hair loss, having stopped finasteride due to side effects like low libido and depression. They are considering dutasteride as an alternative but are cautious due to past experiences with DHT blockers.

      community “Just minoxidil” users, how are you doing now?

      in Minoxidil  23 upvotes 2 days ago
      Minoxidil alone is often insufficient for significant hair regrowth, with many users experiencing limited results or side effects, leading them to add finasteride or dutasteride for better outcomes. Some users report initial improvements with minoxidil but eventually require additional treatments to maintain or enhance hair growth.
