A member asked:
Can minoxidil topical for hairloss cause palpitations? can i use 5-htp, valerian and melatonin along with it?(interactions?)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surprisingly, maybe: The dose used on the scalp is at least the same milligram number as the usual oral dose. while it generally doesn't get it, with irritated or scratched scalp I wouldn't rule it out. AND if it gets in, the blood pressure will drop and this can cause palpitations.. 5ht, and valerian interact through seratonin but aren't likely to give much serotonin syndrome.
