TLDR Low-dose oral minoxidil is generally safe for hypertensive patients with hair loss.
The study evaluated the effects of low-dose oral minoxidil on blood pressure, heart rate, and side effects in hypertensive patients with hair loss. Conducted by a team of international researchers, the study found that low-dose oral minoxidil was generally well-tolerated. The results indicated minimal impact on blood pressure and heart rate, with only mild side effects reported. This suggests that low-dose oral minoxidil could be a viable treatment option for hair loss in hypertensive patients, though further research is recommended to confirm these findings.
