    Thank you very much, Dr.Donovan for your videos. Recently i've stumbled upon some videos of people saying that oral minoxidil, even in low doses can cause pericardial effusion. What do you think about safety of oral minoxidil?

    Oh, yes, for sure. Every single think in life has some risk attached. You just need to talk to your doctors about what exactly is the level of risk.Fortunately, the level of risk at low doses is quite low (but not zero). donovanmedical.com/hair-blog/ldom-fluid-retention

    ​@@donovanmedical9780 Thank you for the answer, i really appreciate it. By the way, i saw a graph at your website that had the minoxidil concentration in blood, like: 5mg is 156.6ng, 2.5mg is 28ng, and what about 1mg? Will it be just around 1/5 of the 28ng?

    It would seem that due to it's low side effect profile that finasteride would be the best choice for men and women for all androgenetic hair loss. Would you agree?

    No, I would not agree with that broad statement. It is taken on a case by cases basis. Finasteride would not be a good option for males with depression, females with depression, males with low libido, females with low libido, males with gynecomastia, females of childbearing age, males under 16-17 years, and many more! Unfortunately the statement would not be broadly supported as written, no.

    I'd like to inquire about the Pfizer vaccine's potential link to hair thinning. Since June 2022, I've observed several people (ages 16-53) in my workplace and community who previously had very thick hair. All of them received the Pfizer vaccine and have since experienced hair thinning across their scalp. Is there a possibility that the vaccine triggers increased sensitivity of hair follicles to DHT (dihydrotestosterone)? Alternatively, could the immune response to the vaccine be attacking hair follicles? It's important to note that none of these individuals have progressed to complete baldness, but rather a general thinning throughout their scalp. Telogen effluvium (TE) seems unlikely as the hair loss has persisted for several months.
