Minoxidil causing high blood pressure?

It is rather unlikely this is directly related to minoxidil - unless one was having an unusual reaction.Minoxidil lowers blood pressure. It is an anti-hypertensive agent. The effect is in the direction of hypotension not hypertension.Men with male balding have an increased risk for hypertension and other aspects related to cardiovascular disease. Please see a physician for appropriate management.

High blood pressure is not associated with Minoxidil- in fact, Minoxidil has actually be linked to low blood pressure. I doubt it's related to your high blood pressure.
