    TLDR Minoxidil's crystal structure shows two different molecule shapes and nitrogen states.
    The study detailed the crystal structure of Minoxidil, an antialopecia agent, revealing that it belonged to the space group P21 with specific cell dimensions. The research found two crystallographically independent molecules in an asymmetric unit, which adopted significantly different conformations. Additionally, the nitrogen atoms in the piperidine rings exhibited markedly different hybridization states in these molecules.

      The user is using 5% topical minoxidil twice daily and 1.25 mg oral finasteride for hair thinning at the temples. They are considering switching to once-daily minoxidil due to scalp flakiness and future time constraints.

      community Do you think oral minoxidil will become the standard for hair loss in 2026?

      in Minoxidil  143 upvotes 5 days ago
      Oral minoxidil is considered more convenient and effective for some users, with positive results reported, but concerns about side effects and availability persist. Finasteride remains a standard treatment, while some users explore combinations with other treatments like dutasteride and laser devices.
