5 / 114 resultscommunity Minoxidil’s mechanism of action on blood pressure as a potassium channel opening molecule
Minoxidil works by opening potassium channels, leading to reduced blood pressure and potential side effects like reflex tachycardia. It is used for hair growth and affects blood pressure at high doses.
community Medications that cause extra hair growth
The post discusses the side effects of various drugs causing excess hair growth, questioning why only minoxidil is used in the hair loss industry. The conversation includes users sharing their experiences and concerns about potential side effects of these drugs, with some preferring baldness over potential health risks.
community Can we have a thread that summarizes all treatments options in addition to the big 3 which we have some evidence for, their mechanism of action and whether they can be combined with the big 3(other than dermarolling)?
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments beyond the commonly known three, focusing on separating effective treatments from myths. Dutasteride and low-dose oral Minoxidil are mentioned as having clinical evidence for increasing hair counts, but with potential side effects.
community Being Safe on Oral Minoxidil: tl;dr on the literature.
Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss but can cause cardiovascular side effects, such as pericardial effusion, especially in those with genetic predispositions. Starting with low doses and monitoring cardiovascular health are advised to reduce risks.
community Hairline stable but diffuse thinning with topical fin+min
The user experienced stable hairline but diffuse thinning after switching from oral finasteride to a topical solution of minoxidil and finasteride. They are concerned about the effectiveness of the topical treatment and are considering other options due to a recent decline in hair density.
