What Is Minoxidil 2.5mg?
Minoxidil is an oral vasodilator medication sold under the brand name Loniten. It treats severe high blood pressure by relaxing and widening blood vessels, which lowers the pressure inside them. Because of its potency and potential side effects, oral minoxidil is reserved for hypertension that has not responded to maximum doses of other blood pressure medicines. It is typically prescribed together with a diuretic and a beta-blocker to manage fluid retention and heart rate changes.
