Question 1

How does Minoxidil 2.5 mg tablets work?

Accepted Answer

Oral Minoxidil is used to promote hair growth and support scalp health. Minoxidil likely works by opening potassium channels, promoting hair growth even ex vivo where blood flow is absent. It may also upregulate Wnt signaling and certain prostaglandins in hair follicles, potentially reducing mitochondrial dysfunction by preventing calcium overload. As an oral treatment, minoxidil is systemically absorbed and can provide consistent effects throughout the scalp and body.

What are the potential side effects of Minoxidil 2.5 mg tablets?

Oral minoxidil may cause an increased heart rate, irregular heartbeat, swelling in the hands or feet, weight gain, and hypertrichosis or hirsutism. Other potential effects include initial hair shedding dizziness, fluid retention, and low blood pressure.

Who should not use Minoxidil 2.5 mg tablets?
