Hawaiian1961 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Aloha, I have been on Finasteride for awhile now but the effectiveness seems to be waivering. I told my current dermatologist that I was interested in oral minoxidil but he turned me down citing heart issues. I called another dermatologist on island but got the same answer. I am 61 years old with a slightly elevated blood pressure. I thought that it would not be an issue being that minoxidil was actually a medication for hypertension. I am confused that many of you have gotten the prescription so easily. Has any had the same experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted November 15, 2022 Administrators Share Posted November 15, 2022 Well, if you have heart issues it may not be the best solution. You can talk to Dr. Pan, who also is from Hawaii. He prescribed me oral minoxidil and has a lot of experience prescribing it. https://parsamohebi.com/contact/consultation/ I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.
