Minoxidil – Product Review Part 2
Posted on August 3rd, 2011 by admin
We looked at some of the positive points of Minoxidil in our last post, today we look at some of the limitations of this hair loss cure product –
- The effects of increasing hair growth is not seen immediately but about 4 to 6 months after you start using Minoxidil
- Also the effect is temporary and lasts only so long as you keep using the product. As soon as you discontinue, your hair growth reverts to what it was before
- Its efficacy is limited to certain people and certain kinds of hair loss
- There can be many unwanted side effects such as allergic reactions, flaking, peeling, dandruff, rashes, acne and so on. Paradoxically Minoxidil could also cause rather than cure hair loss in some cases
- There could also be some very serious side effects in some cases – irregular heart rate, low blood pressure, and in rare cases breathing difficulties.
- There is evidence to show that Minoxidil could contribute to erectile dysfunction and loss of sex drive.
- For women Minoxidil could address hair loss but may also have the less fortunate side effect of thickening and darkening of body hair.
