What is Minoxidil: Uses, Mechanism, and Risks about?

Minoxidil is an oral vasodilator used to treat hypertension and baldness in men and women. It works by opening potassium channels in smooth muscle cells, relaxing blood vessels. As a topical treatment, it stimulates hair growth by increasing blood flow to hair follicles. Common side effects include fluid retention and reflex tachycardia. It is contraindicated in people with pheochromocytoma or hypersensitivity to its components.
