SALT INFORMATION FOR Minokem-F
Minoxidil(5% w/v)
Uses
Minoxidil is used in the treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure), hair loss and Heart failure. 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)
Finasteride(0.1% w/v)
Uses
Finasteride is used in the treatment of hair loss. It treats early forms of male pattern hair loss (also known as androgenetic alopecia).
How it works
Finasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. It blocks the body's production of a male hormone in the scalp that stops hair growth, thereby reversing the balding process and preventing further hair loss.
Common side effects
