What Causes Abdominal Pain And Nausea While On Minoxidil?
Been on minoxidil 5% for 5 monthes. Last 2 months have had unexplained abdominal Pain, nausea, indigestion. Every day. Never had stomach issues before. 46 yoa male. Very healthy. Numerous tests show nothing. Also use a derma roller. Wondering if its the minoxidil. Over dose from getting in my bloodstream via the derma roller ? Use twice a day. Going to stop and see what happens.
Hello, Thanks for the query. There are instances of abdominal (stomach) pain in patients who use Minoxidil. Usually seen in those who use it orally. But the similar effects can be seen on topical application. So if you are experiencing pain in stomach, and deciding to stop it, then it is better to do so. Thanks.
