[Allergenicity degree and sensitization percentage of minoxidil in experimental animals].
The maximization test of Magnusson Kligman was performed in 25 Hartley guinea pigs with minoxidil. The results concluded that minoxidil has a very low capacity of sensitization. This results confirmed in the animal test, the low incidence of contact dermatitis, among the customers using minoxidil topical solutions.
