Minoxidil Side Effects
Possible Minoxidil Adverse Effects
Like all medicines, minoxidil can have side effects, although these don’t affect everyone and are usually mild. All side effects are unlikely, some extremely unlikely, and should wear off after the user stops taking the medication.
If you experience chest pain, stop using the medication and seek immediate help.
If you experience any of the following, stop using the medication and contact the clinic:
- Low blood pressure

- Faintness or dizziness
- Swollen hands, feet, or face
- Shortness of breath
- Sudden unexplained weight gain
- Persistent local redness or rash

Other effects which may occur include:

- Irritated skin
- Dryness
- Flaky skin
- Inflammatory skin disorders causing redness and itching
- Increased hair growth in unwanted areas
WOMEN MUST NOT USE IF PREGNANT OR BREAST-FEEDING
