“…Regarding oral minoxidil and children the current scientific evidence is limited to a report of the accidental ingestion of minoxidil [ 14 ], a randomized clinical trial with 9 patients receiving oral minoxidil treatment for arterial wall hypertrophy for Williams–Beuren syndrome [ 15 ], and some case series about the use of oral minoxidil for refractory hypertension in children [ 16 , 17 , 18 ]. In addition, a recently published systematic review [ 4 ] addressed the issue of minoxidil and children, finding only reports of topical minoxidil in children and one report of low-dose oral minoxidil in a 11-years-old female. To the best of our knowledge, apart from a recent study, which addressed the treatment with low-dose oral minoxidil in children with loose anagen hair syndrome [ 19 ], there is a lack of evidence of the use of oral minoxidil in children.…”
