Hello, John here.

It puts you pass the standard fluid retention threshold. So yes, it will bload you.

*since it causes non-lineral increase in arterial vasodilation* :feelshah:

*you prob dont wnat a explanation but your blood vessels dilate quickly and the sudden drop in blood pressure signals your kidneys via the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system... so it is gonna HOLD the sodium and water to stabilize the pressure.. you will be puffy for 72 HOURS.*

I've been taking oral minoxidil and I haven't noticed any bloating.

I really think that you can get rid of any bloating by drinking 40ml/1kg of body weight and drinking potassium chloride.

Are you saying only 72 hours or is the boat permanent while you’re on oral???
