Minoxidil effectiveness / blood pressure correlation

Hi i posted in another thread how despite being a great responder couple of years ago 5% Regaine foam was suddenly not doing much for me these days. I noticed when i was responding great that my blood pressure dropped from pre-treatment 130/85 to 100/70 and this is a well known side effect particularly if one applies more than the recommended dose.

My blood pressure nowadays is if anything a little higher than normal i.e. 140/90. I wonder if there is a correlation between propensity for blood pressure to drop and minoxidil effectiveness and if so might this hint at steps to engineer a better response? I would have expected my bp to be much lower right now.


Hope above makes sense!

Minoxidl was used specifically as a blood pressure medication. As for your blood pressure being lower or higher affecting hair loss, I doubt it. How much minoxidil are you using? the recommended dose Is 1ml.
