Thank to share this video so my heart was rescue. I got tachycardia from minoxidil for eight months without knowing this shit has 😢such scary side effect!!!

[@James-fv1cm]

I must say I have had some pretty intense side effects from minoxidil. Which is annoying because it can be so effective at stimulating hair growth. Especially when used in conjunction with micro needling. I tried oral loniten (oral minoxidil) and had to immediately come off after 1 week. I noticed immediately dizziness/light headedness which is very serious. The problem with this drug is that it was designed to lower blood pressure. If you are young, healthy and have no abnormal blood pressure issues taking a drug like minoxidil systemically I think is extremely dangerous. Even when I use topical minoxidil I can’t use anymore than 1/2 a cup per day because any more than that the dizziness and light headedness returns. Scary stuff considering topical minoxidil is over the counter here in the UK 🇬🇧

[@skillzset1066]

Hey Matt, this is an extremely important video. These 2 studies that you mentioned in the video, I've been referencing for a while when I'm discussing minoxidil with people. I personally have severe, life-threatening side effects from topical minoxidil, i.e. severe tachycardia, palpitations and almost had a heart attack. I've been admitted to the ICU multiple times just because of topical minoxidil. And I have 0 pre-existing heart problems. I've done excessive testing, ECGs, Echocardiograms, blood tests, etc. Also, my resting heart rate is 50-60, I'm an athlete. For me, the problem seems to be simply that topical minoxidil goes systemic to a much higher degree than normal due to an unknown variable. I suspect that my scalp skin porosity is greater than normal, hence the amplified serum leakage. But topical minoxidil definitely goes systemic for everyone, just to a different degree. That's because of its low molecular weight of 209.25 g/mol and its log p value of 1.24. It's impossible to not go systemic. However, topical minoxidil (unlike oral) skips 1st pass liver metabolism, hence it's metabolised differently than oral. Because 90% of oral minox is metabolised in the liver due to the high presence of SULT1. So the pharmacokinetics of the drug differ depending on the administration method and the metabolites (by-products) are not identical. I personally cannot recommend minoxidil to anyone due to my personal anecdote. I just can't have that on my conscience. But if you are going to use it, I suggest using it only in the morning, not at night (before bed). And drinking a ton of water during the day (which you should be doing anyway). By drinking more water than normal, you increase your stroke volume (which lowers your heart rate) and you increase the renal clearance of minoxidil which is about 73.9ml/min. Good luck!

[@exactly1176]

Been using topical minoxidil 5% for 11 years once a day (at night before bed) with zero problem whatsoever ! (I did heart check etc etc...) I literally have zero problem. My heart is super healthy actually. I started minoxidil at 20 and I'm now 31 by the way. I think you are unfortunately in the minority ti experience side effects on minoxidil. You should not do some fear mongering like soooo many people do with finasteride. Ps : I also use finasteride with zero problem as well.

[@skillzset1066]

@@exactly1176 Good for you. You don't understand the meaning of the word fear-mongering. I'm simply presenting my anecdote and mentioned that I'm an outlier, hence the side effects. Your knee-jerk reply defending minoxidil was to be expected. I can tell that you don't have a scientific background because the moment you hear something which goes against your worldview, you retaliate. People need to know all parts of the minoxidil side-effect frequency distribution. I'm in the 1-2 percentile, and you are in the 50-70 percentile. I even gave you science-backed advice on how to minimise the systemic effects of minoxidil. So stop copying and pasting your comment full of grammar errors everywhere and read what's being said, you might learn something.

It caused me multiple sheds even when on it for years 2. Itching on the application area (liquid in only not foam) 3. Lightheaded at higher concentrations 4 Increased body hair 5.

Third attempt was for 1 year. It is a poor drug for hairloss. It just stimulates growth and doesn't solve the root cause of the problem. My hair is fine with finasteride alone.

@@davidomeara4704 to be perfectly honest with you : I've never had this " shedding problem " with minoxidil. And I used minox alone for 7 years before adding finasteride to my hairloss regiment.

I don't consider minoxidil as a poor drug in my case. But of course I had to add finasteride anyway, I had no choice cause my hairloss got more agressive as I aged. That said : minox + finasteride combined did miracle to me ! My hairloss has been totally stable again for years while using both. So we've got 2 completely different stories right here.

No side effects with either but I would never want to risk my cardiovascular health, hence why i never took oral minox. Never microneedled and dont plan on it. Maybe I should just drop minox altogether since it is kind of a pain in the ass anyway.

The thing is that minox + finasteride > finasteride alone. You just got to understand that. But if you wanna quit minox, it's perfectly fine (you might lose lots of ground though ....) . If I were you I would not take this video too seriously cause what he says about topical minoxidil being almost as dangerous as oral minoxidil is a pure lie. Cause topical finasteride do not transform into minoxidil sulfate (cause it doesn't get metabolized into the liver like oral minox does). What is dangerous for you heart is minoxidil sulfate (the potent version of minoxidil) not minoxidil itself. Topical minoxidil is known to be very safe. I just see fear mongering in that video to be honest. Before you drop minoxidil, i would advice you to check out HairCafe's videos on both oral and topical minoxidil.

But just let you know that if you drop it, you might lose some ground and you won't get that ground back. Cause finasteride + minoxidil > finasteride alone. All the gain you got in 10 months was because you used the best of both world at the same time. Know what I mean ? So of course, if you drop minox, you will certainly lose a bit of ground and maintain a bit less hair during the next 20 years than if you keep going on both drugs at the same time for next 20 years or so. That said, your situation is not like mine at all. For example if I drop minoxidil after 11 years of use ... well ... that would be a disaster..

Heart rate hasn't increased since I started 5% topical foam about 7 months ago. The stuff works, but I do feel that I never quite apply it as well as it should be applied. It is hard to get into the scalp most times, but not hard at the front, where I have seen the most success so far. The only things I have noticed are increased saliva production and (maybe) a bit of ED. I am guessing any sexual issues are mainly physiological, as in, the scalp pulls in more blood to feed the follicles due to the Minoxidil. It can definitely stop balding, and in a lot of cases, bring back more hair, but it has downsides as well. The video makes a good case I suppose. Gonna research a bit more. A hair transplant will never work if a person lost their hair and were unable to solve the issue with Fin+Minox, or just one or the other. The conditions that created the hair loss are still there and need more study before a person gets a transplant. It won't take!

Hello there, I'm looking for any advice from other Minoxidil users. I recently started the Hims topical Fin+Min combo I'm only 8 days in but I think I had the onset of a chest infection coming on at the same time, It seems to be going around the UK atm. The side effects from Minoxidil which I do feel I am experiencing actually also similar to the symptoms whilst dealing with a chest infection, so I'm slightly worried/ confused on what to do right now regarding continuing the topical. The last 2 nights my symptoms have been almost like sleep apnea like which I don't suffer with, or restrictive breathing when I try to sleep. As I'm on the cusp of falling asleep I immediately gasp for air in a panic this happened throughout the whole night. I wouldn't say heart palpitations. I did try propping my pillows up made no difference. So, I'm wondering if perhaps the twice daily of the 5% Minoxidil is too much for me ? and whether i should adjust to one application a day " morning" or using my common sense lol and stopping it altogether until my chest has cleared and the antibiotics I am currently on have finished " 4 days worth". Any info would be much appreciated.

Are you still on it mate? How are the sides? Ive just started taking the Hims topical fin and min as well but only once per day

[@jayedwardsuk5984]

@@gm_personaltraining1784 Hi mate, yeah still on it. Coming to the end of my first bottle should run out today actually I didn't quite get a month out of it though, another 4 days would have been one month exactly. Re the sides they have subsided to be fair but not gone completely. I still have this random rash which isn't bad it's not gone entirely and my head gets itchy not so much on my hairline more on the crown I've also had a persistent cough. I'm telling you all this as it may or may not be related to this topical as i mentioned above i started it with a chest infection, so it was hard to differentiate regards actual " side effects" . It would be interesting to hear how you get on in the next 2 weeks. Please let us know

just use a dropper, however yes it will affect the area somewhat like 1-2 inches diameter or 4cm diameter, remember to spread it everywhere evenly with ur fingertips or a scalp massager, and do use it everywhere, sides, donor area, crown, temples, i do eyebrows to by taking 2 drops on my finger smearing it on them and massaging in, and this does help my eyelashes to! :)

@@thebelieverkhan3741 the safety profile of topical minoxidil is pretty good, its over the counter most of the world now, just use it as advised, 1ml morning and evening or 1.5ml evening only, using it only once daily is 30-40% less effective

[@LT3D]

Great video Matt. One thing that has to be mentioned though, topical Min that gets absorbed systemically is not the same as Min taken orally. This is because oral Min is mostly metabolized by the liver then hits the blood stream. Whereas, topical Min that goes systemic hits the blood stream immediately. This is closer to injecting. This matters because the pharmacokinetics will change drastically between the two methods of administration, where, if enough topical Min goes systemic, the onset of effects is much faster than oral Min that is metabolized by the liver.

[@letsgethair]

Correct Luka. Forgot to mention that. That's why I feel like more people should be aware of this (especially the long-term micro-needling and Minoxidil users).

[@LT3D]

@@letsgethair yeah, I totally agree. And to your point about lack of research in this area, we only know the effects of oral and topical min, but not really the long term effects of injectable min.

[@exactly1176]

@@hamptonhudson11 this video is bullshit lol. Matt doesn't even talk about oral minoxidil and minoxidil sulfate being metabolized In the liver (that's why oral minoxidil is dangerous) unless topical (safe cause doesn't become minoxidil sulfate). Also the study he shows In his video isn't statistically significant and is mostlikely combined with microneedling . Topical minoxidil without tetrinoine or microneedling is safe (especially when only used once a day). Been using it for 11 years, checked my heart before and after 11 years (a month ago) and saw no difference in heart rate whatsoever! My doctor even said my heart is very very healthy for someone my age (31 years old). Ps : i use topical minoxidil once a day and without microneedling or tetrinoine. And we all know Matt doesn't use and doesn't like minoxidil for some reason. So don't listen to the biase and use topical minoxidil if you want to. As long as you don't do microneedling at the same time : you should be just fine. Also Matt kinda promote oral minoxidil at the end saying that it might be an option etc... he has no idea what he is talking about... making topical minoxidil sounds like dangerous and oral sounds like it's not that dangerous is actually irresponsible.

[@yoannstr1239]

Yooo! From my side ; 2018 : no use of min - rest heart rate between 40bpm and 45bpm 2021 : just before use of min - rest heart rate between 45bpm and 50bpm Now : after 1 yrs of min (5% 2x/day) - between 45bpm 50bpm It seems that cafein had an impact but no detected effect from min for now Cheers mates!

I was 2,5 years on minox without ANY problems and suddenly 1 evening after application I got some worrying arithmia. And the next evening the same. I stopped using it and for 10 next months I was battling with short breath which made first 3 months of training almost impossible. But it eventually stopped and I am completely fine now. And I was also on fin for 2 years and I strted using stemoxydine instead of minox and I can tell that I survived minoxidil shedding. I got huge gains of minox and I lost most of them but stemox gave me also a lot of hair back. I am still Norwood 1 maaaybe 2 and density is also okay. So yeah, I survived minox ditch and my hair looks almost the same. Maybe I'll try 2% minox this time if try it again dunno...

[@exactly1176]

11 years on minox, zero problem. Checked my heart 11 years ago and last year. Same results, healthy heart. This video is just fear mongering confusing oral and topical minoxidil... 🤦‍♂️ (without talking about the fact that minoxidil sulfate is the problem for the heart and it gets metabolized in the liver when you are on oral minoxidil. Topical minoxidil doesn't absorb in the body as minoxidil sulfate however so it's safe). I usually like Matt videos but this one is ... just not scientifically accurate. Topical minoxidil is known to be very safe (unlike oral minox).

I've been using topical minoxidil 5% once a day for 11 years already, checked my heart 12 years ago : no problem. Checked my heart 1 month ago = no problem. Topical minoxidil is super safe. If anybody is stressed about topical minoxidil, then just use it once a day (and no need to go for a double dose once a day). Once a day is more than enough 👍 Ps : i don't do any microneedling / don't use tetrinoine. I do believe that this way you might get side effects.

It's redensyl .it seems to help those miniaturized hairs grow out thicker and faster than the minoxidil would have eventually done
