Minoxidil is a potent antihypertensive which is reserved for severe cases. A 58-year-old man admitted for evaluation of progressive dyspnea and peripheral edema had been taking Minoxidil, Normiten and Lasix for severe hypertension. Echocardiography disclosed a massive pericardial effusion but there were no signs of tamponade. Discontinuation of Minoxidil resulted in complete clearance of the pericardial fluid within 3 months. Awareness of this potentially fatal side-effect of Minoxidil is mandatory.
