Can Topical Minoxidil increase BP?

Question

Asked for Male, 23 Years

Hi, I have started using 5% Minoxidil + 0.1% Finasteride Topical solution twice a day from 4 days. I am now experiencing dull headache and elevated blood pressure ( ~ 120 - 128 / 85-90 ). Should I continue to use the solution? And will the side effects go away gradually? Please let me know the next steps / alternatives that I should consider.

You can start with once daily instead of twice daily. Apply 1 ml solution over the scalp at night. Just continue with this for some days. In case of any further questions pls consult me.
