Minoxidil 5mg/10mg
The most commonly used treatment for promoting hair growth by activating dormant follicles and improving scalp circulation.
Originally developed to treat high blood pressure due to its vasodilatory effects, Minoxidil was later discovered to also promote hair growth, leading to its use for treating pattern hair loss (AGA). Besides boosting circulation, it directly stimulates hair follicles, speeding up hair growth and helping restore a healthy hair growth cycle, ultimately leading to thicker and fuller hair.
- Take 1 tablet once daily at the same time each day with plenty of water.
- Taking it at the same time daily helps maintain consistent drug levels in the body for better effectiveness.
- It can be taken with or without food.
- Do not take an additional dose within 24 hours.
Excessive hair growth, initial hair shedding (typically beginning 2–3 weeks after starting treatment and lasting about a month in 80–90% of cases), swelling (in the face or legs), heart palpitations, shortness of breath, headaches, fatigue, dizziness, cardiovascular problems, liver dysfunction, depressive moods, and other psychological symptoms.
Why people choose Minoxidil
Effective hair loss prevention
Known to work better than finasteride due to its ability to block both Type I and Type II 5α-reductase enzymes, this treatment offers more effective hair loss prevention.
For a healthy hair growth cycle
Minoxidil stimulates scalp cells to promote active hair growth and helps dormant follicles transition into the growth phase.
Helps prevent thinning hair
Minoxidil helps prevent hair loss by slowing the breakdown of hair cells around the root.
