Lonitab 2.5 Tablet contains minoxidil (2.5 mg) which influences your body through two primary mechanisms:

• Potassium Channel Opener: Minoxidil opens potassium channels in the smooth muscles of your blood vessels. In simpler terms, it helps these vessels relax and widen.

• Reduces Peripheral Resistance: By helping your blood vessels relax and widen, minoxidil allows blood to flow more easily through them. This reduces the resistance your heart faces when pumping blood around your body (peripheral resistance), ultimately lowering your blood pressure.

• Keep Lonitab 2.5 Tablet in a dry place, with a temperature not exceeding 30°C.

• Make sure to protect it from light.

• Don't expose the medicine to moisture.

• Always ensure that this medication is stored away from children's reach.

• Since Lonitab 2.5 Tablet is used to manage hypertension, consider following a diet low in salt. Too much salt can increase your blood pressure, making hypertension harder to control.

• Regular physical activity can also be beneficial. It helps lower blood pressure and maintain a healthy weight, which is crucial for managing hypertension effectively. However, always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
