Horrible horrible side effects!!!! Numbness of the lips tongue and feeling of tingling in the face! Nausea, headache, hives and more! Overall if I could give it a zero I would and it is a black box drug no one told me that!!! Don’t take this medication unless you have no other choice!

After three weeks on it I started growing a mustache. Had a LOT OF dark hairs sprouting aggressively. Stopped taking it after reading it was related to the same drugs GIVEN for hair growth. Mustache went away after three more weeks. Wondered how many poor women are fighting dark facial hair and have no idea it is their bp med. ??

I have VERY difficult to treat hypertension. I have been taking Minoxidil in combination with Clonidine now for 5 years. This combo reduced by BP from 200/100 to 120/60, which is rather remarkable.

I have VERY difficult to treat hypertension. I have been taking Minoxidil in combination with Clonidine now for 5 years. This combo reduced by BP from 200/100 to 120/60, which is rather remarkable. I do have to take a whole suite of other drugs because of the Minoxidil side effects: Lasix (fluid retention), Metropolol (tachardia), and Enalapril and Potassium. You must be very conscientous of salt intake on Minoxidil and limit yourself to about 2 grams per day. All that extra effort aside to control the side effects, it is a very effective drug for my essential hypertension.
