      Tretinoin may help more minoxidil convert to its active form and could potentially increase its absorption, raising concerns about safety if too much enters the bloodstream. It's unclear if tretinoin affects finasteride absorption.
      Can liver problems be associated with response to the oral minoxidil?

      community Can liver problems be associated with response to the oral minoxidil?

      in Research  145 upvotes 3 days ago
      Liver problems may reduce the effectiveness of oral minoxidil due to impaired SULT1A1 enzyme activity, which is crucial for converting minoxidil to its active form. This reduction in enzyme function can significantly decrease the drug's effectiveness in promoting hair growth.

      in Research/Science  6 upvotes 2 months ago
      Minoxidil's effectiveness varies due to genetic differences in the SULT1A1 enzyme, affecting how well it converts to its active form, minoxidil sulfate. Hyper-responders may experience rapid hair growth and increased side effects, such as pericardial effusion, even at low doses.
