What is minodoxil?

Answer 1

Minoxidil is a medication primarily used to treat hair loss, particularly androgenetic alopecia, also known as male or female pattern baldness. It is available in topical form and works by promoting hair regrowth and slowing down hair loss by increasing blood flow to hair follicles. Originally developed as an oral medication for hypertension, its hair restoration properties were discovered as a side effect. Minoxidil is commonly found in over-the-counter products like Rogaine.
