Minoxidil and hypertension

2024-10-28 05:32:22
My dermatologist recommended cipla tugain men 5% minoxidil with .1% finastride for hair growth. But some people say I shouldn't apply minoxidil on scalp since I am on medication for hypertension (i take nebistar 5mg in morning,  telma 40mg at night). My dermatologist says it's okay for bp patients to apply minoxidil on hair, it wont increase bp. Who's right?

It shouldn’t be a matter of concern as the systemic absorption is very very low. U should go ahead with the application of minoxidil.
