My doctor prescribed minoxidil 2.5 pill for hair loss. It replaced the Losartan Potassium that I was taking for high blood pressure. Problem is I am gaining weight now despite walking 4 miles a day. Anyone experience this?

If you're gaining significant weight it is because you are eating too much. If it is 2 or 3 lbs it might be from fluid retention from the meds.
