Minoxidil is primarily an antihypertensive vasodilator used to manage hypertension (high blood pressure). It is also widely known for its topical use in treating hair loss and promoting hair growth, particularly in male pattern baldness.
- Persistent elevation of blood pressure in the arteries may present symptoms like headache, dizziness, nosebleeds, vision changes, chest pain, weakness, and shortness of breath. Often, hypertension can be asymptomatic.
