Well, technically, it is not MINOxidil, as it has 1 carbon chain less, which may result in better absorption, efficiency etc. In reality though, some side-effects like head ache, shortness of breath etc might be the same. I won;t go as far as to claim that this is not something they have developed, as they probably did, but of course this is not 100% new ground-breaking product in common understanding.
Anyway, it is a pity u have this reaction. have u tried to talk to your physician about that? maybe there are some harmless pills that u can take to counteract this side-effect?
