Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Minoxidil is a potent vasodilator which can cause reflex tachycardia, therefore, it should be given with a beta-blocker to prevent this side effect. A beta-blocker will also help to prevent tachycardia-induced myocardial ischemia. Edema and bradycardia are not side effects of minoxidil, and severe hypertension is not prevented by giving minoxidil with a beta-blocker.
