@cisnistr Here's some more info about absorbtion rates, please note it's from 1990, so maybe new formulations absorb at different rates https://t.co/VRzo3ifA6R

What people are saying
The social discussions highlight interest in how contact time affects absorption, with comments referencing the rapid absorption within the first hours and noting that the 1990 data may differ from newer formulations. The tone balances curiosity with cautious acknowledgment of the study's historical context, showing both respect for its findings and awareness of ongoing research.
Most discussions acknowledge the findings, with some expressing agreement that absorption rates are rapid and implications for topical treatments are significant.
Posts show high curiosity about the study, especially regarding how contact time influences drug absorption, reflecting strong engagement with the topic.
Several posts reference specific aspects like absorption percentages and historical context, indicating a moderate depth of discussion.
The discussions suggest the research could influence future applications or formulations, though some see it as preliminary data from an older study.
Abstract in brief
- The study involved 22 healthy men who applied minoxidil solution to their scalp and had varying contact times (1, 2, 4, and 115 hours) to see how much was absorbed.
- Results showed that most of the drug was absorbed quickly, within the first few hours, with about 50% absorbed after 1 hour and over 75% after 4 hours, indicating rapid initial absorption.
- The amount of minoxidil excreted in urine increased disproportionately with longer contact times, and the absorption process was nonlinear, while the body's elimination depended on a steady rate of diffusion from skin holding a reservoir of the drug.]
