About the ingredient
Minoxidil
A vasodilator originally used for hypertension that, at low oral doses, extends the anagen phase of the hair cycle and supports follicle health.
Minoxidil is a well-established vasodilator used to stimulate hair growth and slow the progression of androgenic alopecia (male and female pattern hair loss). Originally developed as an antihypertensive, it was later discovered to promote new hair growth by increasing blood flow and nutrient delivery to hair follicles and extending the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle.
Minoxidil is available in both oral and topical forms, with the topical 5% solution or foam being FDA-approved for hair regrowth. Oral low-dose Minoxidil (LDOM) has emerged as an effective off-label option for patients seeking enhanced results or improved compliance compared to daily topical use.
Extends anagen phase
Minoxidil lengthens the active growth phase of the hair cycle, increasing the proportion of follicles producing visible hair.
Improved compliance
Oral dosing avoids the daily topical routine that many patients find difficult to maintain — a leading cause of treatment failure with topical minoxidil.
Used by men and women
Low-dose oral minoxidil is prescribed off-label for both male and female pattern hair loss, often as part of a multi-modal regimen.
