Left Minoxidil on my heater for 3 hours - will the heat affect the medication?

January 6, 2022
Asked By:Jaski in München, Thüringen, Deutschland

Hello, I have a question, I recently forgot to take my minoxidil (50mg) off the heater, it was standing on it for about 3 hours. At around 35-40 degrees, whereby it should be stored at 20-25 degrees. Does it affect the effect of the minoxidil? Kind regards
