What are the effects of Minoxidil on hair growth?

According to Drugs.com, common minoxidil side effects include hair colour or texture changes, while serious reactions like hives, difficulty breathing, and swelling should be treated immediately. Although the risk is low when applied to skin, side effects can occur in the bloodstream.

Minoxidil topical may cause serious side effects. Call your doctor at once if you have:

• Severe scalp irritation;
• Unwanted growth of facial hair, chest pain, fast heartbeats;
• Swelling in your hands or feet, rapid weight gain; a light-headed feeling, like you might pass out; headache, dizziness, confusion; or flushing (warmth, redness, or tingly feeling).
