A hairy fall: syncope resulting from topical application of minoxidil.
BMJ Case Rep. 2015 Sep 7;2015. pii: bcr2015210945. doi: 10.1136/bcr-2015-210945.
A hairy fall: syncope resulting from topical application of minoxidil.
Dubrey SW1, VanGriethuysen J1, Edwards CM2.
We describe the case of a young man who developed syncope after using a high strength formulation of topical minoxidil as a hair growth restorer. Other potential cardiovascular and endocrine causes were excluded, and his symptoms resolved on discontinuation of the product. While syncope is a recognised side effect of using this powerful systemic antihypertensive agent, few cases are documented in the literature, which we illustrate in our discussion.

Re: A hairy fall: syncope resulting from topical application of minoxidil.
Do you have access to the full text? I've always figured that side effect requires minoxidil applied to a large area of scalp and maybe also baseline low blood pressure.
