research In Vitro and In Vivo Scalp Retention and Penetration of 99mTc-Minoxidil Solution

September 2022 in “Journal of pharmaceutical sciences”

This study found that adding hydroxypropyl cellulose to minoxidil formulations significantly increased scalp retention and penetration compared to other formulations, potentially leading to reduced application frequency and improved efficacy.

research Interaction of Minoxidil with Pigment in Cells of the Hair Follicle: An Example of Binding without Apparent Biological Effects

7 citations , January 1992 in “Skin Pharmacology and Physiology”

This study found that minoxidil accumulated in pigmented hair follicle cells more than in unpigmented ones, but this targeting by pigmentation did not affect hair growth.

research Minoxidil Stimulates Mouse Vibrissae Follicles in Organ Culture

121 citations , March 1989 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

Minoxidil can help grow hair in mice by making cells grow and improving hair quality. More research needed.

research Pharmacokinetic studies of minoxidil

90 citations , May 1972 in “Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics”

Minoxidil quickly leaves blood, turns into urine metabolites, and has lasting blood pressure-lowering effects.

research Whole Body and Regional Hemodynamic Effects of Minoxidil in the Conscious Dog

39 citations , November 1984 in “Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology”

Minoxidil lowers blood pressure, increases heart rate, and improves blood flow in dogs.

community P-1075: a BETTER version of Minoxidil

11 months ago

P-1075 is a more potent hair growth agent than Minoxidil, but it poses significant heart risks, making it unsafe for use. Despite promising results in macaques, concerns about its cardiotoxicity in rats have halted its development.

community Minoxidil experiment on single hair follicle

1689 upvotes 1 year ago

Minoxidil was applied to a single miniaturized hair follicle over four months, resulting in less miniaturization but not yet terminal growth. The user used a 5% minoxidil solution, specifically the Regaine brand, and observed changes using a handheld WiFi microscope.

community 1.25mg oral minoxidil-3 month progress

in Progress Pictures 633 upvotes 1 year ago

A 44-year-old man experienced significant hair regrowth after switching from topical to 1.25mg oral minoxidil and 0.5mg daily finasteride, with no side effects. He noticed hair thickening after two months and credits the oral form's effectiveness.

community 5 months of Ru58841 & 5% minoxidil

in Progress Pictures 25 upvotes 1 year ago

The post discusses using RU58841 and 5% minoxidil for hair loss treatment, with RU applied to the temples and crown, and minoxidil used twice daily. Users debate the effectiveness of RU58841 compared to minoxidil alone.

community A minoxidil pill just posted strong phase 3 results. Up to 86% of men improved coverage in six months.

345 upvotes 2 months ago

VDPHL01, an extended-release oral minoxidil tablet, showed promising results in improving hair coverage for 79 to 86% of men in a trial, with fewer side effects compared to standard doses. Many users prefer oral minoxidil over topical due to ease of use and fewer side effects, especially for those with pets.

learn Minoxidil

An essential vasodilator with some anti-androgenic effects

From hypertension to hair: the unexpected story of minoxidil Minoxidil was developed as an oral blood-pressure drug and approved as Loniten in 1979; unwanted hair growth in patients led to topical Rogaine, approved for men in 1988 and for women in 1991. Trials support topical minoxidil for pattern hair loss, while low-dose oral minoxidil is a prescription drug used off-label and needs medical supervision.
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. Approved strengths differ by sex, so check the label for your product.

learn Nanoxidil

Key Differences between minoxidil and nanoxidil? Nanoxidil has a lower molecular weight than minoxidil, enhancing absorption and reducing side effects.

learn RU58841

a potent but unapproved and potentially problematic topical anti-androgen

RU58841: What's the difference between minoxidil and finasteride? Minoxidil stimulates hair growth, while finasteride reduces DHT levels to prevent hair loss.

learn Alfatradiol

Alfatradiol: Can it help if my hair loss is linked to DHT? The one randomised trial of topical alfatradiol — in 103 women — found hair thickness and density essentially unchanged after six months, while minoxidil improved both; its authors credited alfatradiol with slowing hair loss rather than regrowing hair. Laboratory work supports a local effect on follicular DHT, but no controlled trial in men appears to have been published.
