Minoxidil, found in LONITEN Tablets manufactured by Pfizer, is a peripheral vasodilator that is commonly used to treat hypertension and alopecia. It works by relaxing blood vessels and increasing blood flow, which reduces blood pressure. As a potassium channel agonist and VGKCs modulator, minoxidil opens the potassium channels of smooth muscle cells in the blood vessels, allowing more potassium ions to flow out of the cells, resulting in relaxation of the vascular smooth muscle. In addition to treating hypertension, minoxidil is also used topically in solutions or foam formulations to promote hair growth and prevent further hair loss in individuals with androgenetic alopecia.
