Receding Hairline
I have male pattern baldness and want to take oral minoxidil but have concerns as I have had an SVT in 2020 and they had to use intravenous adenosine.(svt came probably as a reaction to phenylephrene as per doctors) and havent had a repeat episode after at all. It was strictly a one time thing, no long term medication take after that.
Doc suggested topical minoxidil and redensyl. I am not satisfied with the effects and I am not interested to continue redensyl as i don't believe in its efficacy.
I want to know If I can at all take oral minoxidil. After consultations I want to be on minoxidil plus finasteride but can I take oral minoxidil or can i absolutely not given my svt history?
