Basic Information

Mechanism Of Action

Minoxidil, when used as a vasodilator, acts by opening adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium channels in vascular smooth muscle cells. This vasodilation may also improve the viability of hair cells or hair follicles. Minoxidil is at least 90% absorbed from the GI tract in experimental animals and man.


Pharmacokinets

Minoxidil is a potent oral vasodilator acting on the arteriolar side of the circulation. Reflex tachycardia and sodium retention are consequences of increased sympathetic activity.
