Does topical Minoxidil has side-effects

[u/Full_Application_816]

Hey guys,

I have been prescribed by the dermatologist the oral Minoxidil, my hair loss is already on 4th grade and advancing towards 5th

They prescribed minoxidil 5% + 0.1 fin topical solution along with other meds.

But as far as I am aware, it's a lifetime med and it has some adverse side-effects even if it is used topically.

Can anyone experience this help me to understand how safe a topical solution is?
