CompositionMinogain 5mg Tablet 30 is a medicine taken by mouth, used to manage pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) in adults, and in some cases diffuse hair thinning. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing minoxidil, and belongs to a class of medicines called peripheral vasodilators.
This medicine works by widening blood vessels and improving blood flow to the hair follicles, which prolongs the active growth phase of the hair and helps slow hair loss. It may also be used in some cases of alopecia areata when a doctor advises. Take it exactly as your doctor directs, and keep taking it regularly because results can take several months.
Be patient, as visible results take several months, and follow any scalp-care advice from your doctor or dermatologist. Hair loss may return if treatment is stopped. It can cause dizziness, so avoid driving until you know how it affects you.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have heart problems, low blood pressure or take other medicines, as it can affect the heart and circulation. It is not recommended during pregnancy or for people under 18. Seek medical advice if you notice a fast or irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath or swelling of the hands or feet.
