Description

Minoxidil Topical Solution USP 10% W/V is a potent vasodilator that, when applied topically, stimulates hair regrowth in individuals experiencing androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness).

Mechanism of Action: Minoxidil enhances microcirculation around hair follicles, possibly by:

  • Prolonging the anagen (growth) phase of hair.
  • Increasing follicle size and number of hair strands.
  • Opening potassium channels, which improves cell membrane potential and nutrient flow.

Uses:

  • Androgenetic alopecia in men (male pattern baldness), typically: Receding hairline & Vertex (crown) thinning
  • It is not typically recommended for:

    • Women (due to increased risk of side effects at higher strength)

    • Hair loss caused by other conditions (e.g., alopecia areata, chemotherapy-induced hair loss)
