Description

Introduction

LONITAB contains Minoxidil, an oral vasodilator primarily used for the treatment of hypertension and, in lower doses under medical supervision, for hair loss management (androgenetic alopecia). Oral minoxidil works by relaxing blood vessels, improving circulation, and enhancing blood flow to hair follicles.

LONITAB should be used strictly under medical supervision due to its systemic effects.

Why LONITAB Is Used

LONITAB may be prescribed for:

Hair Care Management

• Male and female pattern hair loss
• Thinning hair
• Hair regrowth support in androgenetic alopecia

Cardiovascular Use

• Severe or resistant hypertension (as prescribed)

Doctors may recommend low-dose oral minoxidil for hair loss when topical treatments are ineffective or not tolerated.

How LONITAB Works

Minoxidil works by:

• Acting as a vasodilator, relaxing blood vessel walls
• Increasing blood flow to the scalp
• Stimulating hair follicles
• Prolonging the anagen (growth) phase of hair

This may result in improved hair density and reduced hair shedding over time. Visible results typically require consistent use for several months.

Possible Side Effects

Common Side Effects

• Increased hair growth on other parts of the body
• Fluid retention
• Mild dizziness
• Rapid heartbeat

Less Common but Serious Effects

• Swelling of hands or feet
• Chest pain
• Severe drop in blood pressure

Medical supervision is essential during treatment.

How to Use LONITAB Safely

• Take exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional
• Do not self-adjust dosage
• Regular monitoring of blood pressure may be required
• Do not stop abruptly without medical advice

Conclusion

LONITAB (Minoxidil) is used for hypertension and, in controlled low doses, for hair loss management. It supports improved scalp circulation and hair follicle stimulation when used under proper medical guidance.
