Minoxidil Tablets

Minoxidil tablets contain minoxidil, an oral medicine classified as a peripheral vasodilator. Unlike topical minoxidil, which is applied to the scalp for certain types of hair loss, oral minoxidil tablets are primarily indicated for the treatment of severe hypertension that has not responded adequately to other antihypertensive medicines. Minoxidil works by relaxing blood vessels, helping reduce elevated blood pressure. It is available in different strengths, including 2.5 mg and 10 mg tablets. Oral minoxidil may cause serious side effects, including fluid retention, increased heart rate, and cardiovascular complications. It should be used only under close medical supervision and according to a healthcare professional’s prescription.

What Is Minoxidil Used For?

Minoxidil tablets are primarily used for the treatment of severe hypertension that is not adequately controlled with other antihypertensive medicines. They may be prescribed when other treatments have not provided sufficient blood-pressure control. Minoxidil tablets may be used for:
  • Severe hypertension requiring additional blood-pressure treatment.
  • Hypertension that has not responded adequately to a diuretic and other antihypertensive medicines.
  • Blood-pressure management under close medical supervision.
Oral minoxidil is not the same as topical minoxidil. The approved indication and appropriate treatment depend on the prescribed product and the patient’s medical condition.

How Does Minoxidil Work?

Minoxidil is a direct-acting peripheral vasodilator. It works by relaxing the smooth muscle in the walls of small arteries, causing blood vessels to widen. This reduces peripheral vascular resistance and helps lower blood pressure. Because the medicine can also trigger increased heart rate and salt and water retention, it is generally administered with other medicines, such as a diuretic and a beta-adrenergic blocking agent, under medical supervision
