Is this Better Than Topical Minoxidil? Topical Diazoxide Research/Science 4/14/2025
Topical diazoxide may be a promising hair regrowth treatment, especially for those who don't respond to minoxidil, as it activates potassium channels without needing sulfation. It appears safe for topical use, avoiding systemic effects seen in oral use.

Dr. Muñoz's discovery suggests that targeting potassium channels in fibroblasts could reactivate hair growth, offering new treatment possibilities for alopecia. Potential strategies include using minoxidil, diazoxide, and other potassium channel openers, as well as bioelectric devices and direct growth factor applications.
community Creatine is the opposite of minoxidil !
Creatine may counteract minoxidil's hair growth effects by closing potassium ATP channels, potentially leading to hair loss in predisposed individuals. Despite anecdotal reports, there is no conclusive evidence linking creatine to hair loss.
community Medications that cause extra hair growth
The post discusses the side effects of various drugs causing excess hair growth, questioning why only minoxidil is used in the hair loss industry. The conversation includes users sharing their experiences and concerns about potential side effects of these drugs, with some preferring baldness over potential health risks.
community Sustaining minoxidil dependent hairs?
Minoxidil-dependent hairs fall out if minoxidil is stopped. New treatments like GT20029, FOL055, or TDM105795 might help sustain these hairs.
community P-1075: a BETTER version of Minoxidil
P-1075 is a more potent hair growth agent than Minoxidil, but it poses significant heart risks, making it unsafe for use. Despite promising results in macaques, concerns about its cardiotoxicity in rats have halted its development.
