No headache while on topic minoxidil 5%
I started to use minoxidil 5% for the past few months. I observed that I'm not getting any frequent headaches that I get before using minoxidil. Is minoxidil entering the system and altering the blood flow? I'm confused.

Minoxidil is found in negligible quantities in the blood. It does dilate the perifollicular blood vessels, that shouldn't really have any role in reducing headache. What was the cause of headache? Was it stress related, sinusitis or exercise?
