    TLDR Researchers developed a simple and accurate method to measure Minoxidil in tablets using UV light.
    In 2019, researchers from the Department of Pharmaceutical Analysis at P. Rami Reddy Memorial College of Pharmacy in Andhra Pradesh, India, developed and validated a simple, precise, accurate, and economical UV spectrophotometric method for estimating Minoxidil in tablet dosage form. The method used 0.1N HCl as a solvent and found that Minoxidil shows maximum absorbance at 279.4nm. The drug showed linearity from the concentration range of 1-6µg/ml and a correlation coefficient of 0.9992. The method was statistically validated for precision, accuracy, ruggedness, robustness, the limit of detection, and quantitation as per the ICH guidelines. The researchers concluded that this method could be successfully applied for routine analysis of Minoxidil in bulk and tablet dosage form.

      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.

      community Minoxidil actually reduces wrinkles

      Minoxidil may improve or worsen skin quality, with topical forms causing dryness and wrinkles, possibly due to alcohol content, while oral forms have fewer side effects. Some users consider using tretinoin to mitigate negative effects.
