Description of the side effects: Like all medicines, MINOXIDIL BAILLEUL can have side effects.
Local irritations may occur, with desquamation (elimination of dead skin cells), itching, erythema (red spots), dry skin, burning sensations and hypertrichosis (abnormal hair growth in areas remote from the site of application) or, more rarely, allergic reactions. Inform the doctor.
In some rare cases, the following side effects were observed: a drop in blood pressure, an increased pulse rate, hair loss, irregular hair growth, chest pain, hepatitis and renal calculi (kidney stones). Immediately stop the treatment and inform the doctor.
Rare cases of other reactions were reported, such as allergic reactions (rhinitis, localized or generalised rashes, generalised red spots, face swelling), vertigo, tingling sensation, headaches, weakness, oedema, altered taste, ear infection, vision disorders, eye irritation, neuritis (inflammation of a nerve).
However these effects, particularly the rarest ones, were reported without it being formally established that these were caused by the treatment.
Side effects related to the ingredients: Due to the alcohol content, frequent applications on the skin may cause irritation and dry skin.
The propylene glycol may cause eczema (allergic skin reactions).
In all the cases previously mentioned, the patient must stop treatment and inform the doctor.
If any side effects not previously mentioned are noticed, inform the doctor or pharmacist.
