SALT INFORMATION FOR Androanagen

Minoxidil(5% w/v)

Uses

Minoxidil is used in the treatment of hair loss. It is most effective in treating hereditary hair loss or thinning at the top of the scalp, not in front. Rarely, it may be used to treat high blood pressure.

How it works

Minoxidil is a potassium channel opener. Its vasodilation action expands the blood vessels to promote blood flow, thereby decreasing blood pressure to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). The topical application of Minoxidil on your scalp helps in increasing blood flow through the vasodilation process. This increased blood flow provides more nutrition and oxygen to the hair follicle, which prevents hair cell death and also enhances new hair growth. This is how it works to treat your hair loss (alopecia).

Common side effects

Itching, Angina pectoris, Chest pain, Dizziness, Headache, Hypertrichosis (excessive hair growth), Nausea, Pericarditis, Rash, Dermatitis, Hypersensitivity, Weight gain, Fluid retention, Tachycardia, Angioedema (swelling of deeper layers of skin), Breathlessness, Dry skin, Skin exfoliation, Acne, Hair loss, Changes in hair texture, Pericardial effusion, Cardiac tamponade, Low blood platelets, Decreased white blood cell count (lymphocytes)
Aminexil(1.5% w/v)

Uses

Aminexil is used in the treatment of hair loss.

How it works

Aminexil is a vasodilator, meaning it widens the blood vessels and provides better blood flow to the hair follicles. This prevents hair loss and stimulates re-growth resulting in longer, thicker and increased numbers of hair.

Common side effects

Skin rash, Chest pain, Slow heart rate, Dizziness, Weight gain, Swelling, Facial hair growth

  • During the first 2 weeks of application, your hair fall may increase. This is normal and is a sign that Minoxidil is working.
  • Take care that Minoxidil does not trickle down onto your face as it may cause undesirable facial hair growth.
