I've read http://www.drugs.com/sfx/minoxidil-topical-side-effects.html the study of 2% minoxidil.
Despite low levels of systemic absorption, in one study of 35 men using either topical minoxidil 2% twice a day or placebo for 6 months, minoxidil was associated with cardiac changes, such as significant increases in left ventricular end-diastolic volume, cardiac output, and left ventricular mass.

After reading this i am a litle bit scared of using min. What do you think?

I'm also curious about that but Minoxidil has been used for many years and
I think FDA would be all over if something happened.

Seems like nobody cares about it)) Funny poeple)
And nobody went to a doctor to check that everything's fine whie using min, esp 15%?

I wouldn't be so sure about FDA. Besides, a lot of poeple are still on min 15% with derma roller and don't care about their health. Even FDA banned it, but only after years. Where were they before?
