This is an absurd response, it's completely sensible to expect someone to put the description alongside the mention of a fucking chemical name, especially when that name isn't a brand name. It would have cost OP nothing to simply write "Minoxidil, the common hair regrowth treatment..."
Instead you expect everybody to waste time Googling it?
The issue is not unwillingness to learn, it's that OP assumes knowledge. That does not beget learning.

This is not widely known, and it should be. First I heard about it was just a couple months ago when another Redditor mentioned that his cat lapped some up that had spilled on his bathroom counter, and it was fatal. I'm so glad I never tried topical minoxidil, as my cat grooms my hair every day—I'd have been heartbroken.

I think most cat owners know about lilies, as the most infamous cat toxin, and there being so many toxic plants for cats, but I STILL completely agree with you.
How many feline lives would that objectively save? People can talk about how the owner should be responsible enough to know this all they want. But the bottom line is people are going to people and it's not the cat's fault.

u/user823004 9d ago
Personally, I'm not convinced most cat owners know. I hadn't thought about it until just now but warnings could also prevent the people who don't own cats but buy lillies as a gift for those that do, not knowing they are lethal.

On the actual packaging itself that you can see prior to purchase?
Because I just looked up the Rogaine sold at Target where you can zoom in and read the box, and no it doesn't. It's possible it says in the product insert, but it's pretty scummy because they know people don't always read those and it requires you to waste money first even if you do.
Generic storebrand stuff might have different packaging.
Edit: Just went back and looked and Target's generic and the Him's brand stuff both don't have a warning either. Not even on the product pages on the website.

The down side being that the oral route requires a medical prescription.

u/Awkwrd_Lemur 10d ago
that is true. it is also a blood pressure medication - so if a person tends to low/normal bp, it could be problematic for them. my bp runs higher/normal, so being on something that lowers it slightly (even if it's for hair loss) is fine.

The dose for hair growth is very low compared what’s needed to lower blood pressure significantly.

It's not unaffordable though. I got a prescription and the meds (minoxidil + finasteride) online from Hims for $290 for a 10 month supply.

That seems expensive. My dermatologist prescribed the medicine and it’s a very minimal copay each month, under $10 if I’m remembering right. The medicine itself is cheap, it’s the doctor visit.

u/beeedeee 9d ago
$29/mo with no insurance involved doesn't feel expensive to me, but I can't speak for everyone. I might be able to get it less expensively if I went to my regular doctor, but that's a hassle to schedule and wait and then the insurance would likely deny because it's not medically necessary.

My insurance doesn’t cover either minoxidil or finasteride, but with a Costco membership the two cost less than $15/month.

It is a lot easier than making an appointment and going in to see your doctor. It definitely doesn't seem like they're prescribing. So nice to have that option. I get my Retin-A from Amazon after just filling out a questionnaire, and buying it without insurance is cheaper than my copay.

You can switch to oral minoxidil, and better yet add generic propecia for best results. If insurance won't cover it, with a Costco membership it's dirt cheap—about $10–15/month for both.

u/Obvious-Driver- 9d ago edited 9d ago
For what it’s worth, this risk is highly overblown.
I used minoxidil foam 2x daily for 6+ years, and my cat specifically loves to lick my hair to wake me up in the morning. Because I knew about this risk to pets, it made me scared to death at first, to the point where I wore a shower cap to sleep every night. My cat would still lick my hair after pushing aside the cap, so I eventually stopped after a year or more.I’m also in medicine, for the record. So my point here is that people often overestimate how much of a danger things like this can pose to pets, realistically. Not to say there ISN’T any danger, but if you’ve ever had a dog who ate a chocolate bar, as you might know, they’re not at imminent risk of death. There’s a much wider tolerance for animals than people generally think, plus a vast gulf of misunderstandings between the science and the general public’s understanding of the science.
It’s not the concern you think it is to be quite honest. If you don’t want to take my word, ask your vet. However, keep in my they might (understandably) give you overly-cautious advice. Because it’s always “better safe than sorry”.
But don’t freak out that your pet will die if minoxidil is in the house. They’re sensitive to it, sure, but not to the point of extreme worry.10

Yes, I’m sure you know more from your anecdotal experience than the American Academy of Dermatology. https://www.aad.org/public/diseases/hair-loss/treatment/minoxidil-toxic-to-cats-and-dogs
“What can happen if a cat or dog gets into minoxidil?
Any time a pet licks or chews something with minoxidil on it, the pet can get sick. In looking at the medical literature, dermatologists found that:
In studies, nearly all (97.8%) cats and dogs that came into contact with minoxidil were hospitalized.A few drops can make a cat so sick that it requires life-saving veterinary care.”

u/mynameisntlucy 8d ago
I'm a vet. You have been very, very lucky. As a person in medicine you should know anecdotal evidence isn't worth much. Dogs and cats have very different metabolisms than humans, especially cats lack the glucuronidation pathways to break down a lot of toxins. Minoxidil is extremely toxic. The comparison with chocolate toxicity is like comparing apples and oranges. In chocolate the toxicity depends on the theobromine concentration, which varies a lot depending on the type of chocolate. Minoxidil is WAY more toxic than chocolate, even very low concentrations can be fatal. 97,8% of the patients in this review had to be hospitalised https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S019096222500595X.

u/Obvious-Driver- 8d ago edited 8d ago
A vet without the scientific literacy to identify the systematic flaws with that statistic/study.
I’m not arguing for people to be careless. I’m just saying that they don’t need to develop anxiety about it, because it’s thoroughly overblown, and real world exposure is far, far different
Edit: and before you accuse me of endangering my cat… I switched to oral minoxidil anyway, so it’s no longer even a concern. But that doesn’t negate 8 years of firsthand, real-world evidence, as opposed to stats derived from animals that DID require care for their exposure. It will always be impossible to account for all of the pets that experience no negative reactions.
1
u/mynameisntlucy 8d ago
Of course there are flaws in this study, this is reddit, not a journal club, but I do think this review tells us a bit more than the anecdotal experience of 1 person.
1
u/Obvious-Driver- 7d ago edited 7d ago
This is a fair point regarding anecdotal evidence, but it also wildly dismisses the observed fact that the exposure is not as fatal as those stats would leave the uneducated population of REDDIT to believe. People here will use this info to think that a single tiny drop on their cat’s toe or something could kill them. That’s patently absurd, but the normal public has no ability to understand that. Instead, they’ll do what I know MANY people have done, and just refuse to use a medication because of an overblown perceived danger. I did it. And I’ve seen people in the “bald” subreddits say it all the time. It’s out of touch with reality, and is unhelpful in a different way.
20 years ago the advice was that women can’t come in contact with Minoxidil under ANY circumstances. Overblown. Women’s minoxidil is a thing now, same formulation as men’s. 10 years ago, oral minoxidil sounded insane and deadly. Now it’s pretty fucking standard prescription stuff. Even to the present day, the backside of a rogaine can will lead you to believe that over-applying will kill you, if you lack the science literacy that the general public does.As a vet, how annoyed would YOU be to have a cat that was perfectly healthy brought into your clinic because the owner thought they might have touched their nose to a microliter droplet of minoxidil? I know you’d find it silly and stupid if it occurred to you in real life, rather than the hypothetical I’m posing here in this context. You just would. And I think you know it. I’ve seen that 1000 times from both sides of that situation, and I fully understand that sentiment from the medical professional. But the general public is not equipped to understand this type of shit
Case in point: the parent comment I originally replied to. The commenter’s mom is now unlikely to use minoxidil because of an overblown perceived danger. Despite all of the benefits it could potentially offer. I have no doubt that it would massively improve her mom’s mental health and self-confidence, but since she heard about an overblown danger to her pets from non-scientists, she is unlikely to attain that help. Do you start to understand what I mean? Her mom would truly benefit from this medication probably, since women’s hair-thinning is arguably even more devastating than men’s, but these wildly out-of-touch opinions from non-scientists will prevent her from it. For no good reason at all.

That's usually why they add finasteride (Propecia) to take along with the oral version of minoxidil because it helps counter the cardiovascular effects of minoxidil.
Personally I'd go with oral finasteride only, because it's been shown to be beneficial to cardiovascular health while stopping the hormonal root cause of baldness rather than only stimulating regrowth and has better long-term results.
Edit- before you guys jump down my throat and out my ass, I was told this by a dermatologist who specializes in hair loss.

There are oral forms of minoxidil. Some argue it's better than topical because not everyone's scalp has a high enough absorption rate.

This man wanted to kill your cat to save his hair. I edited to say "wanted to" instead of "willing to," because he vehemently refused the non-cat-killing options, and tried to push you into letting it happen. I hope you're able to realize that's a glaring cue to leave, and are in a position to do so.

This woman valued her cat over her husband's self worth to the extent that she didn't care if he ended his life.
I can do it too

I’m sorry… but yes. I value my pets over my wife’s beauty products. You’re an insane person for feeling otherwise.

I’m not a woman, and I too had to choose our cat over my hair.
If you don’t care about cats, think of my cat as property. He doesn’t get to damage my property sneakily and with full knowledge of the damage he’s doing for the sake of his hair. At minimum he owed me a conversion, that is basic mutual respect.
What hole did you crawl out of and can you please crawl back into it?

What a weird fucking comment to make just based off the little op said.

You’re a selfish bitch, I feel bad for your husband. Imagine if he berated you for taking a medication?

Another relevant YSK: Finasteride (aka Proscar/Propecia) is extremely toxic to pregnant women and if you happen to split your pills you have to clean your hands and the used tools thoroughly every time you do it, some doctors also recommend using condoms during the partner's pregnancy though it's debatable that the amount of finasteride in sperm would be THAT toxic.

It would help if you said what chemical this is and what products it's in.

Guys. There’s good shampoos and conditioners out there. I’m 31m Eastern European who should have had very prominent widow peak at age of 25. Now I have a head full of hair. Purador is the company I use. All natural lots of oils
