Side effects of Minoxidil are really quite minimal. It is possible that there may be a lowering of blood pressure, but that of course is quite a healthy thing in most of us.

Perhaps it's an allergic reaction or just mild irritation, but that is the other thing that seems to be a problem on occasions.
