learn Minoxidil

An essential vasodilator with some anti-androgenic effects

Minoxidil 2%, 5% and 10% which is better to use? In a randomized trial in men, 5% topical minoxidil produced more hair growth than 2%. There is no approved 10% product and no head-to-head trial showing it beats 5%; higher strengths mainly add irritation and systemic absorption.
