in prolactin and may have certain side effects, such as a decrease in libido

and a general sensation of malaise. Additionally, in certain circumstances,

excessively elevated prolactin levels result in gynecomastia, a male breast
tissue enlargement. Women suffered the same adverse effects as men,
including possible edema tissue swelling and headache, and dizziness from
excessive vasodilation and low blood pressure.

If someone wants to take minoxidil to slow down hair loss rather than stop it.
There are two main ways to administer minoxidil, also different people use it in
different dosages. One is used topically as a cream, while the other is taken
as a tablet. Use of oral minoxidil varies daily, from 0.25 to 5 milligrams.
Additionally, a five percent concentration of topical minoxidil will be used once
daily. Thought to only affect the scalp, topical use of minoxidil at a dose of 5%
can enter the bloodstream generally and go systemically. But applying this
medication topically does not work like taking it orally in the form of a pill or
capsule [11].
