Description:
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.Minoxidil was originally used exclusively as an oral drug (with the trade name & acute;Loniten& acute;) to treat high blood pressure. However, it was discovered to have an interesting side effect: Hair growth. Minoxidil may cause increased growth or darkening of fine body hairs, or in some cases, significant hair growth. When the medication is discontinued, the hair loss will return to a normal rate within 30 to 60 days. Upjohn Corporation produced a topical solution that contained 2% minoxidil to be used to treat baldness and hair loss, under the brand name Rogaine in the United States and Canada, and Regaine in Europe and the Asia-Pacific. The patent on minoxidil expired February 11, 1996. Treatments usually include a 5% concentration solution that is designed for men, and a 2% concentration solution for women. While the drug is available in the United Kingdom, it cannot be prescribed on the NHS, so patients must either buy it over-the-counter, or have a private prescription for it.
