Pleuropericardial effusion associated with minoxidil administration

Postgrad Med J. 1982 May;58(679):319-20. doi: 10.1136/pgmj.58.679.319.

Abstract

A patient on minoxidil developed pericardial and pleural effusions with a high protein content. This finding is not compatible with the view that such effusions in patients taking minoxidil are transudates.
