CompositionLonitab 5 Tablet is used to manage pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) in adults. It may also help in some cases of diffuse hair thinning, where improving blood flow to the hair follicles can support regrowth.
It contains minoxidil, from a group of medicines called vasodilators, which widen blood vessels. It works by stimulating the hair follicles and prolonging the active growth phase of hair, helping to slow hair loss with consistent use over time. Take it exactly as directed by your doctor.
Results take several months to become visible, so patience is important. Follow any scalp-care advice from your doctor or dermatologist, and avoid stopping the medicine suddenly, as this can lead to renewed hair loss.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor about any heart problems, low blood pressure, or other medicines you take, as it can affect the heart and circulation. Tell your doctor if you notice a fast or irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, swelling of the hands or feet, or unwanted hair growth in other areas of the body.
