CompositionMINOXYTOP 5 TABLET 10 is a medicine used to manage hair loss, mainly pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia), in adults. It is also used in some cases of diffuse hair thinning, where improving blood flow to the hair follicles can help.
It belongs to a group of medicines called vasodilators, which widen the blood vessels. It works by stimulating the hair follicles and prolonging the active growth phase of hair, helping to slow hair loss when used consistently over time. Take it exactly as directed by your doctor.
Some general measures can help alongside this medicine. These include being patient, as results take several months, and following any scalp-care advice your doctor or dermatologist gives.
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 about a fast or irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, or swelling of the hands or feet, and be aware that it can cause extra hair growth in unwanted areas. Continue taking it for the full duration prescribed, as stopping can lead to renewed hair loss.
