Lonitab (minoxidil) is a topical solution clinically proven to stimulate hair growth in cases of androgenetic alopecia. As a vasodilator, it works by prolonging the anagen phase of the hair growth cycle, increasing blood flow to hair follicles, and potentially enlarging miniaturized follicles. This FDA-approved treatment is available in multiple strengths, with formulations tailored for both men and women. Proper application and adherence to treatment protocols are essential for achieving optimal results, typically visible after 4–6 months of consistent use.

Common use
Lonitab is primarily indicated for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss) in men and women. It is most effective in cases of recent onset hair loss and for vertex balding rather than frontal recession. Patients typically begin noticing reduced shedding after 2 months, with visible regrowth appearing between 4–6 months of consistent use. Maximum results are generally achieved after 12 months of continuous treatment. Discontinuation leads to reversal of benefits within 3–4 months.
Dosage and direction
Apply 1 mL of solution twice daily to dry scalp in affected areas. For foam formulation, use half capful twice daily. Part hair to expose scalp and apply directly to affected area. Wash hands thoroughly after application. Do not apply to other body areas. Allow solution to dry completely before styling hair or going to bed. Do not shampoo for at least 4 hours after application.
Precautions
- For external use only - avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, and broken skin
- May cause temporary increased hair shedding during first 2-6 weeks of treatment
- Not recommended for use by pregnant or breastfeeding women
- Monitor for cardiovascular effects in patients with heart conditions
- Discontinue if irritation or allergic reactions develop
- Keep away from children and pets
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to minoxidil, propylene glycol, or any component of the formulation
- Patients with history of pheochromocytoma
- Patients with unexplained scalp lesions or inflammation
- Patients with cardiovascular disease without medical supervision
- Children under 18 years of age
Possible side effects
- Scalp itching, dryness, flaking, or irritation (most common)
- Temporary increased hair shedding (initial treatment phase)
- Hypertrichosis (unwanted facial hair growth in women)
- Dermatitis or allergic contact dermatitis
- Cardiovascular effects (tachycardia, palpitations - rare with topical use)
- Headache or dizziness
Drug interaction
- May potentiate effects of antihypertensive medications
- Concurrent use with topical corticosteroids may increase systemic absorption
- Caution with concomitant use of guanethidine
- No significant interactions with oral contraceptives reported
- Theoretical interaction with other vasodilators
Missed dose
Apply missed dose as soon as remembered, unless it is nearly time for the next scheduled application. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed application. Maintain regular twice-daily application schedule for optimal results. Consistency is crucial for treatment efficacy.
Overdose
Topical overdose may cause systemic effects including hypotension, tachycardia, headache, and dizziness. If accidental ingestion occurs, seek immediate medical attention. Systemic absorption through intact skin is minimal, but application to large areas or broken skin may increase absorption. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive.
Storage
Store at room temperature (15-30°C). Keep container tightly closed. Protect from light and moisture. Do not freeze. Keep away from heat and open flame. Discard any unused product 4 months after opening. Do not transfer to other containers.

Proper diagnosis of hair loss etiology is essential before treatment initiation. Not all patients will respond to treatment.
Reviews
Clinical studies demonstrate approximately 40% of patients achieve cosmetically significant hair regrowth after 12 months of treatment with 5% minoxidil solution. Patient satisfaction surveys indicate highest efficacy in vertex balding cases. Dermatologist reviews consistently note the importance of patient compliance and realistic expectations. Long-term studies show maintained benefits with continuous use over 5 years in responders.
