A member asked:
I had read topical minoxidil 5% causes side effect of breast tenderness.of late,i feel my chests have little bulged.why is this so&how it can be cured?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually oral dosing: An uncommon or rare side effect of oral minoxidil is breast tenderness in both males and females. This is usually associated with the oral form of minoxidil, rather than the topical form for hair loss. This should be discussed with your physician as this side effect must be weighed against the benefits of the medication.
