Minoxidil is an antihypertensive vasodilator medication. It also slows or stops hair loss and promotes

hair regrowth. Now off-patent, it is available over-the-counter for the treatment of androgenic

alopecia.Widely used for the treatment of hair loss, it has been proven clinically effective in both the

prevention of loss and in establishing varying degrees of hair re-growth in males and females suffering

pattern baldness.

Minoxidil must be used indefinitely for continued support of existing hair follicles and the maintenance

of any experienced hair regrowth.

Application:

Minoxidil was the first drug approved by the FDA for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (hair loss).

Before that, minoxidil had been used as vasodilator drug prescribed as oral tablet to treat high blood

pressure, with side effects that included hair growth and reversal of male baldness. In the 1980s,

UpJohn Corporation came out with a topical solution of 2% minoxidil, called Rogaine, for the specific 

treatment of androgenetic alopecia. Since the 1990s, numerous generic forms of minoxidil have become

available to treat hair loss while the oral form is still used to treat high blood pressure.

The popularity hair loss treatment is due to the general preference in the overall population for the

cosmetic appearance of a full head of hair. Minoxidil is used to stimulate hair growth in areas of the

scalp that have stopped growing hair. As of early 2001, the exact mechanism of action of minoxidil is

not known.
