    Minoxidil is also a super potent blood pressure medicine. I don’t have the numbers obviously, but this is already widely available at compounding pharmacies so I imagine there are probably thousands of people already using it.

      It has a black box warning about potentially fatal side effects. Everyone using it is using it off label for regrowing hair and trying to micro dose it. There are plenty of safer blood pressure medications. The hope is that by using extended release the blood concentration never peaks.
