Why is there no talk about tricomin? What about topical DHT inhibitors?

I heard the headache is more likely from the delivery solution of the rogaine, not the rogaine, or something like that. I agree with once a day, a ht doctor also told me that when I went for a consult several years ago too.

Are there studies regarding minox and excercising ?
I workout 5 days aweek and if minox will cause threat i might stop it.

There is no meaningful threat to exercising while using Minoxidil. This is largely fear mongering at work here. I exercise five to six days a week for over an hour each day and I have no troubles.

The possible side effects of Minoxidil are grossly exaggerated and blown out of proportion online. The truth is the possible side effects are mild and well tolerated. Most people who use Minoxidil do not experience the possible side effects. I've been using Minoxidil for years and I've never had a problem with it. The foam is a whole lot better though.

Based on those two deaths, I would say there is a meaningful threat to exercise while on Minoxidil if you may have an existing heart problem, but that is just my opinion.

Based on those two deaths...

Those two deaths you "believe" may have been related to Minoxidil don't mean anything until facts are known. Even if it is true, it is clearly stated on the bottle that a person with a heart condition should not use Minoxidil. Even if it is true, Minoxidil didn't kill them. Their failure to read the label killed them - or their decision to ignore that information killed them.

Water can be deadly too you know.

I agree, the problem is many heart conditions go undiagnosed, undetected, and untreated for years. Combine that with the reality that not many people will do heart exams before they start rogaine. That's why I disagree in advising there is NO meaningful threat to Minoxidil and exercise. If it were your son, would you stick with the same "there is NO threat to Minoxidil and exercise." or would you revise that statement to "make sure you read about the possible side effects/see a doctor beforehand"?

I agree, ppl need to know about potential sides before they start.
I beleive as long as you healthy and the dosage you take is less than the recommended one, you should be fine but nobody knows anyways.
Rogaine is my only option along with niz for now since i will never take fin, i'd rather not play with my body hormones.
