      A user experienced hair shedding after stopping and restarting topical minoxidil due to side effects like facial edema and hirsutism.

      community Minoxidil is NOT an Anti-androgen. No.

      in Research/Science  43 upvotes 10 months ago
      Minoxidil is not an anti-androgen; it is a growth stimulator and does not lower DHT like finasteride or dutasteride. Minoxidil can cause side effects like facial swelling and anxiety due to its vasodilator properties.
