Minoxidil was used by 27 investigators for the treatment of severe refractory hypertension which had failed to respond to extensive multiple therapy. Blood pressure was controlled in 71 of 101 patients. The most common side effects were fluid retention and hypertrichosis. In 71% of patients the drug was withdrawn because of intolerance.
