It honestly sounds more effective than minoxidil through a similar method of action.

Study from 1990 on monkeys: http://www.jdsjournal.com/article/0923-1811(90)90130-6/pdf

They noted no side effects.

In the fulltext, it lists a formula (diazoxide and vehicle).

How come no one's commercialized this? Anyone want to give it a try? I honestly might if I can find a good source. On Alibaba it looks dirt cheap.

Diazoxide 5%
Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) 0.06
Lauryldimethylamine oxide (LDAO) 0.187
Benzyl alcohol 10.0
Isopropyl alcohol 50.0
Dipropylene glycol 4.0 10%
NaOH solution q.s
Purified water add to 100
PH 10.0-10.5

Probably has not been picked up because it cant be patented and as mentioned may be no better than minoxidil. It does however cause hair growth, if you look the side effects of Proglycem which a brand name of Diazoxide:

Abnormal growth of body hair, especially on the forehead/back/arms/legs, may occur. This is usually not permanent and will go away when the drug is stopped.
