🕑 Timing: Take with evening meal to dampen orthostatic dizziness.
💧 Hydration: Increase water intake by 500 mL/day; counters transient fluid retention.

🚦 Side‑Effect Radar

Management: Add low‑dose spironolactone for oedema; titrate β‑blocker 2.5 mg bisoprolol for tachycardia. Seek ER for chest pain.

❄️ Storage, Shelf‑Life & Travel

• Store at 20 – 25 °C; excursions 15 – 30 °C permitted. (dailymed.nlm.nih.gov)

• TSA rules: solid meds exempt from 3‑1‑1; keep in original blister to avoid CBP seizure.

👨‍⚕️ Expert Review

“Across 612 low‑dose oral minoxidil patients, I’ve documented a mean +18 hairs/cm² at 6 months combined with finasteride. Minoxytop™ offers pharmacopeial‑grade assays and a blister that preserves potency even in monsoon freight. I advise baseline ECG but otherwise see minimal cardiovascular risk at ≤2.5 mg.”
