Heart Condition due to Minoxidil? Is there any truth in these claims?

Several times we heard our patients asks : "Doctor, is Rogaine (Minoxidil) causing me Heart Problems?" The pros and cons of Minoxidil for Hair Usage have been studied rigorously. New knowledge is always being generated, although this has been asked several times, a clear answer isn't available. There are multiple sides to this and we will try to see some of them here within this blog.

Minoxidil can come in either tablet form or can be found as a topical ointment that can be applied directly on the head. Minoxidil is used for regrowth of hair and its usage has also grown into our everyday culture consciousness. It has been accepted widely and can be found in the list of medicines sold over the counter.

All of this makes it sound that Minoxidil has no side effects and is good for Hair regain, but therein lies the problem. It is made for the general public, but not everyone can use it without checking the label. All of the medicines, even ayurvedic ones can or might affect someone negatively. This phenomena is known worldwide but still we wouldn't expect oneself to get literal Life threatening conditions from usage of Hair Growth products, but this is a possibility. But before this let's look at the Help Minoxidil gives in Hair Growth:
1. It helps in the increase of Hair by reversing Hair Loss. It helps to grow fallen hair and helps resolve Bald patches. This is the most important aspect of its use.
2. It helps to decrease Hair Loss. We understand it helps in the growth of Hair, but the more important aspect of its usage is to stop Hair Loss. Hair Loss of any nature is stopped by it effectively.
3. Rogaine is the best option in Hair Growth when compared to other oils or products which claim hair growth. Although the hair growth is slow, and it even takes months to see some average results with Minoxidil it is still better than all the other products.

Now the cons:
1. Hair Growth will be way too slow.
2. Results will not be even 10% of the Best Hair Transplant.
3. Bad application can cause hair growth in unwanted areas.
4. Can lead to Heart Palpitations.

Now the last part is what this blog is all about.
Heart conditions are the leading cause of Death in the world. In India every day they cause thousands of people to perish. Our hearts have become weaker and at a pace that can be compared to our lifestyles. There has been a growth in Heart complaints in young adults under 40 and this can cause a life to shorten.

Rogaine or Minoxidil in tablet form has been shown to increase heart rate and increase your Blood pressure. But the tablet form's usage has significantly decreased in comparison to the topical solution. This solution is to be applied directly on the scalp, in the amount prescribed by the Doctor. Over usage or spilling can cause hair growth in unwanted areas. But over usage can also lead to even serious heart diseases.

Heart disease is no joke, and it is to be feared. Thus even if you have a slither of doubt in your heart, that your heart might not be working effectively, call a doctor.
Never ignore your heart or your hair. But don't risk life for hair. Hair is very important but so is a good life.
