Frequently Asked Questions for Minoxidil

What It Is

Minoxidil 2.5mg Tablets are an oral form of treatment for hair loss, commonly used to address male pattern baldness. The active ingredient, minoxidil, was originally developed to treat high blood pressure but was found to stimulate hair regrowth as a side effect. These tablets are a systemic approach to hair loss treatment, providing a convenient alternative to topical minoxidil solutions.

How It Works

Minoxidil works by improving blood flow to the hair follicles, stimulating the growth of hair. It helps reverse some of the damage caused by DHT (dihydrotestosterone), a hormone responsible for hair loss in men. As blood flow improves, hair follicles become rejuvenated, leading to thicker, stronger hair growth. While results may vary, consistent use over several months is often required for optimal results.

How to Use

The recommended starting dose is 1.25mg (half a tablet) daily for two weeks. After this, the dosage is increased to one 2.5mg tablet daily. Always take the medication at the same time each day, and continue for several months to see results. A tablet cutter may be required to start the treatment at the correct dose.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include increased heart rate, fluid retention, and abnormal ECG results. Serious side effects like dizziness, swelling, and chest pain should be reported to a doctor immediately. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting treatment, especially if you have pre-existing heart conditions or high blood pressure.

Warnings and Precautions

Do not take minoxidil if you are allergic to it or have certain conditions such as a tumour-related high blood pressure (phaeochromocytoma). Consult your doctor before use if you have heart failure, kidney or liver problems, or if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Avoid using this medication without a thorough consultation to ensure it is appropriate for you.
