Can Procapil topical use causes heart palpitations just like Minoxidil?

Question

Hello Sir/Madam I'm 30 years old and suffering from MPB. I'm taking finasteride 1 mg daily but I can not use minoxidil because it makes heart palpitation side effect to me as it's a vasodilator. Now I to want use Procapil hair serum as topical solution. But my question is as procapil is also a vasodilator, so is it safe to use?? Or it's too going to give side effects like heart palpitation just like minoxidil?

Ross Kopelman, DO · Answer

Procapil, like Minoxidil, is used to promote hair growth, but it works differently. While Minoxidil is a known vasodilator, meaning it widens blood vessels and can sometimes cause systemic side effects like heart palpitations, Procapil primarily works by improving scalp health and blocking DHT locally, without directly affecting blood flow to the same extent.
Since Procapil is not a vasodilator in the same way as Minoxidil, the likelihood of experiencing heart palpitations or similar cardiovascular side effects is much lower. However, individual reactions can vary, and while Procapil is generally considered safe, it's always wise to be cautious if you've experienced sensitivity to topical treatments in the past. I would recommend starting with a small test area to see how your body responds.
