User Reviews for minoxidil topical

this product doesnt improve hairgrowth nor hair loss....instead i suffered with more hair loss problem.....this product is just a waste of money...

i have suffered extreme swelling a lot of body fluid, congential heart failure, Hair all over my body and face. breakin out on my buttocks and back of arms. This med did bring my blood pressure down but the side effects are horrible. I have rapid heart beats and caused my IBS to flare up. AW of TN

I have used this topical med for bilateral male pattern baldness for 6 months and have had great results- no skin irritation or other side effects.

I started using it while also taking cortizone shots for Alopecia Aereta (first time in my life, 50 years old). I do think it is helpful, careful about letting it drip on your face. After about 3 months I am considering quitting. I can't deal with the itchy scalp and I don't want to use the product for the rest of my life. I am afraid I'm going to shed and lose the hair, as the product only works as long as you use it. OH! I've been using the men's 5% twice a day, as recommended by my dermatologist.Read More Read Less

I have been on Minoxidil for almost 2 years with no side effects and it is working for me, I only use it once a day. Iam thinking of trying the mens I heard it works better. I am having trouble with perms they seem to last for about a month. You have to make sure that you wipe any excess from getting on your face. I got lucky so far no side effects

My doctor recommended Fortalex PT and it works a lot better than Minoxidil products. With Minoxidil, my skin would burn, irritate, swell up, get blisters... theres times where i literally felt loss of breath and chest compression. My doctor quickly put me on Fortalex PT and I was able to experience hair growth without those very uncomfortable side affects. After doing my research, I found out Fortalex is 100% natural and there are no chemicals, which explains the absence of side affects... I recommend Fortalex PTRead More Read Less

This is working for me after using for 1 month. But i have started to see facial hair growing on my face.

I use a professional product called nioxxin sold at salons across america..it has the monoxidil in it but has other great hair regrowth formulas...ive tried all he over the counter products but this one is rated #1 by cosmotoligist and is 100% effective.

After 3 weeks of use, I developed hives and severe itching on my abdomen and thighs. When I stopped use of the product, the itching disappeared but the hives remained for 2 weeks.

Changes in the texture of my hair. It worked somewhat at first. DEPRESSION is a problem.

After less than two weeks use of topical minoxidil on my scalp, I began to develop a severe skin irritation in my armpits, chest and belly. I also experienced unexplainable weight gain (over eight pounds!).

This product does work. I am a 35 year old woman with mild traction alopecia. I started seeing results after about 6 weeks. One side effect that I was not expecting is that I am getting hair growth in places I don't want hair. Be careful to cover any minoxidil-treated areas before you go to sleep. If it gets on your pillow, or drips from your scalp onto your face, you might notice small patches growing on your face. It's not terrible, but I have noticed it. I just shave it off and try to watch where I apply.Read More Read Less
