Product Information for Minoxidil 2.5mg 90 capsules

What are Minoxidil capsules?

Minoxidil capsules are a prescription-only medicine.

How does Minoxidil work?

Like topical minoxidil (Regaine), oral minoxidil works by relaxing the muscular walls of blood vessels through a process known as vasodilation. This relaxation widens the blood vessels, allowing improved blood flow.

Side effects of Minoxidil 2.5mg 90 capsules

Oral minoxidil capsules can have side effects that should be taken into consideration. These may include:

  • Hypotension (low blood pressure): Oral minoxidil can cause a decrease in blood pressure, leading to symptoms like dizziness, lightheadedness, and fainting.
  • Tachycardia (increased heart rate): Some individuals may experience a faster heart rate or palpitations while taking oral minoxidil.
  • Fluid retention and swelling: Oral minoxidil has the potential to cause fluid retention, resulting in swelling in the hands, ankles, or legs.
  • Allergic reactions: Although rare, allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling of the face, tongue, or throat may occur.
  • Angina or chest pain: Oral minoxidil can occasionally trigger chest discomfort or pain, particularly in individuals with pre-existing heart conditions.
  • Unwanted hair growth: As minoxidil is a hair growth stimulant, it may cause hair growth in unintended areas like the face or body.

It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting oral minoxidil treatment in order to understand the potential side effects and determine its suitability for your individual circumstances.
