A member asked:
I want to stop tropical minoxidil which i was using for my hair loss. i am gaining weight. so want to stop using . what will be adverse effect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hair loss: No adverse effect from stopping use of topical Minoxidil aside from hair loss. Weight gain is not reported as a side effect of Minoxidil in www.Epocrates.Com so be sure to focus on nutrition & physical activity as therapeutic options for your weight gain. You might want to check w/your family doc regarding your thyroid (although this is rarely explanation).
