    TLDR Minoxidil lowers blood pressure and causes hair growth, with some side effects.
    This document reports on a study of 16 patients with severe hypertension who were treated with minoxidil in combination with other antihypertensive drugs. Minoxidil successfully lowered blood pressure levels, and the growth of hair was noticeable in 13 patients. Side effects included slight prickling of the skin, hypertrichosis, and edema. The study concludes that minoxidil therapy is favorable and can be used as an alternative to nephrectomy and to treat graft rejection.

      The post discusses concerns about the practicality of using Minoxidil foam for hair loss, including the frequency of application, preparation, coverage area, and drying time. Responses suggest that missing a dose isn't detrimental, it can be applied once a day, it works on all hair areas, and it doesn't need to be perfectly dry before application.
