In this case, stop the treatment and consult your doctor to establish an appropriate therapy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In case of accidental contact with sensitive surfaces (eyes, skin lesions, mucous membranes) Minoximen causes burning and irritation. In this case, wash the area with plenty of fresh water. In the presence of other cardiovascular disorders, including hypertension (high blood pressure), take Minoximen only under strict medical supervision.\u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003eAlthough experience with the use of Minoximen has not shown that there is sufficient absorption of minoxidil to cause systemic (body-wide) effects, some absorption of minoxidil occurs through the scalp and there is a potential risk of systemic effects such as salt and fluid retention, generalised and local oedema (fluid retention), pericardial effusion (collection of fluid in the pericardial sac), pericarditis (inflammation of the pericardium), cardiac tamponade (accumulation of fluid or blood within the pericardial cavity), tachycardia, angina (chest pain caused by insufficient oxygen supply to the heart) or increased orthostatic hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure when moving from a lying to a standing position) induced by drugs used to treat high blood pressure, such as guanethidine and derivatives (see \"Other medicines and Minoximen\" and \"If you use more Minoximen than you should\"). \u003cbr\u003eIf you have had latent (hidden) heart problems in the past, your doctor will warn you that Minoximen may worsen these problems. Your doctor will perform periodic checks to detect any suspicion of systemic effects caused by minoxidil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Stop treatment with Minoximen and consult your doctor if systemic side effects or dermatological (skin) reactions occur.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Cases of excessive hair growth on the body of young children have been reported following contact with minoxidil application sites of patients (caregivers) using topical minoxidil. Hair growth returns to normal within a few months when young children are no longer exposed to minoxidil. Care should be taken to ensure that children do not come into contact with areas of the body where topical minoxidil has been applied. \u003cbr\u003eConsult a doctor if you notice excessive hair growth on your child's body while using topical minoxidil products.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eChildren and adolescents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The use of Minoximen is not recommended in subjects under 18 years of age as its tolerability and efficacy have not been determined.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePossible side effects\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIf you notice any of the following symptoms, contact your doctor immediately as you may need urgent medical treatment.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e • Swelling of the face, lips or throat which may cause difficulty in swallowing or breathing.
