“People who take Minoxidil, especially if they're very sensitive to it or they take dosages that are too high, will experience increases in prolactin that in turn can cause things like reductions in libido, reductions in overall feelings of well-being, apathy, and in some cases where the elevations in prolactin are more extreme, they can experience, for instance, increase in male breast tissue gynecomastia or even small bits of milk letdown, things of that sort.”
