Minoxidil 10 - Para Pharma

Minoxidil was initially introduced as an oral medication in the 1970s for severe hypertension, but it soon gained attention for an unexpected side effect—hair regrowth. This observation led to the development of topical minoxidil for androgenetic alopecia (AGA), available since 1986 in a 2% solution and later in a stronger 5% solution in 1993. Though the precise mechanism behind minoxidil's effects on hair growth is not entirely understood, it is known to work by opening potassium channels in smooth muscle, which impacts cell hyperpolarization and early cell proliferation. Available as both a solution and a propylene glycol-free foam, minoxidil has been a trusted treatment for hair loss, with effects tied to individual enzyme activity within hair follicles.
