Minoxidil Tablets
Minoxidil tablets are a medication used to treat severe high blood pressure that has not responded to other treatments. They work by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing strain on the heart. Because minoxidil is a powerful vasodilator, it is usually prescribed along with other medicines to control blood pressure and prevent fluid buildup.
- Minoxidil tablets belong to the class of direct-acting vasodilators
- Works by opening potassium channels in blood vessel walls, lowering blood pressure
- The starting dose is often low and gradually increased based on blood pressure response
- Commonly prescribed for severe or resistant hypertension that does not respond to standard therapy
- Requires close monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate, and kidney function during treatment

Minoxidil Tablets Medication Description
Minoxidil tablets are a potent antihypertensive medication used primarily for patients with severe or resistant high blood pressure. Unlike many other blood pressure medicines, minoxidil works directly on the smooth muscle of blood vessels by opening potassium channels, which leads to relaxation and widening of the arteries. This mechanism dramatically lowers blood pressure and reduces the workload on the heart, making it an effective option when other treatments fail. Because minoxidil can cause significant fluid retention and reflex tachycardia (a rapid heartbeat), it is almost always prescribed with a diuretic and a beta-blocker to counter these effects. Treatment requires careful monitoring, as sudden changes in blood pressure or fluid balance can be dangerous. While minoxidil is highly effective for controlling blood pressure, it does not treat the underlying cause of hypertension and should be part of a comprehensive management plan that includes lifestyle changes and regular medical supervision. -
Minoxidil Tablets Side Effects
Minoxidil tablets can cause side effects such as fluid retention, swelling in the legs, rapid heartbeat, and headache. Increased hair growth on the face, arms, or back is common and usually reversible after stopping treatment. Serious risks include heart failure, chest pain, and severe low blood pressure. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience shortness of breath, sudden weight gain, chest pain, or fainting. Regular monitoring and taking the medication exactly as prescribed help reduce these risks. -
