    TLDR Made 8 minoxidil samples; 1 cocrystal, 7 salts formed.
    This document describes attempts to create cocrystals of minoxidil with carboxylic acids. The researchers successfully generated eight multi-component samples, which were analyzed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealing the formation of one cocrystal and seven salts. The study found that the carboxylate/N-hydroxide synthon or its neutral analog proved to be a robust supramolecular interaction, while the amino-pyridine and piperidine moieties failed to participate within this molecular arrangement. The study concludes that further understanding of competing intermolecular interactions is necessary to design and produce multimeric products with anticipated connectivities and stoichiometries.

      A user humorously suggested smoking minoxidil in a blunt as an alternative hair growth method, sparking a satirical discussion on unconventional and unsafe ways to use minoxidil. The conversation included various suggestions like oral pills, rectal administration, and other absurd methods, with some users warning against the dangers of such practices.

      Minoxidil helps hair growth by increasing blood flow and prolonging the growth phase, but it doesn't address the root cause of hair loss, such as DHT sensitivity. Finasteride can help maintain some gains by blocking DHT, but stopping Minoxidil often leads to hair loss because the new hairs are dependent on it.

      community Be careful with minoxidil, even if it's just foam.

      Minoxidil caused side effects like chest pain and tinnitus for the user, leading them to stop using it and consider switching to finasteride with microneedling. Other users shared similar experiences with minoxidil, while some reported no issues, highlighting varied individual reactions.

      community 8 months on oral minoxidil. No sign of regrowth.

      in Minoxidil  14 upvotes 1 week ago
      The user has been taking 2mg oral minoxidil and 1mg finasteride but has seen no hair regrowth after 8 months, leading to concerns about being a non-responder. They are considering increasing the minoxidil dosage or switching to dutasteride, while also using keto shampoo and microneedling, but remain skeptical about the effectiveness of minoxidil.
