Specifically designed to have a better safety profile. Lots of people have been holding off from off-label oral minoxidil use for hair loss due to cardiac safety concerns, this is a reassuring update.
I also think the BP lowering effects of being able to take higher doses with less peaks could be a life extension intervention on its own.
All this is is time release minoxid tablets. Split the 10mg tablets into 2 or 3 portions and you get almost the same effects. I think the half life for the regular medication is 4 hours.
For what it’s worth Avi doesn’t believe oral minoxidil at low doses causes cardiac safety issues in healthy people without preexisting conditions. I haven’t reviewed this evidence myself.
