Minoxidil 5% Spray (60ml)

Minoxidil is generally well tolerated, but as with all treatments, some people may experience side effects.

The most common side effects are related to the scalp and application site, including:

Itching or irritation
Dryness or flaking
Redness or mild burning sensation

Some people may notice increased hair shedding during the first few weeks of use. This is usually temporary and can be a sign that the treatment is starting to take effect.

Less commonly, Minoxidil can be absorbed into the bloodstream and may cause:

Headaches
Dizziness or light-headedness
Increased heart rate (palpitations)
Swelling of the hands or feet

Very rarely, unwanted hair growth in areas such as the face can occur, particularly if the solution comes into contact with surrounding skin.
