Minoxidil was used as a hair treatment by crushing hypertension tablets and mixing them with other ingredients. It was noted to thicken existing hair more than promoting new hair growth.

A new extended-release oral minoxidil formulation claims to improve hair growth by maintaining steady blood levels, reducing side effects like hypotension, and potentially benefiting female hair loss. However, it is not considered groundbreaking as it builds on existing minoxidil treatments, and its effectiveness compared to current doses is debated.

Finasteride, a hair loss and prostate drug, may also benefit heart health. Some users discuss the potential negative effects of DHT on the heart and the balance between hair loss treatments and heart health.

Access to minoxidil and finasteride in prison is unlikely unless prescribed for medical conditions like hypertension or benign prostatic hyperplasia. Cosmetic treatments are generally not provided in prison.

Low-dose oral minoxidil is used for hair loss and does not significantly affect blood pressure but may increase heart rate and cause hypotensive symptoms. Some users experience side effects like palpitations and shortness of breath, while others find it effective; topical minoxidil with tretinoin is also considered.
