MedKoo Cat#: 577429 | Name: Minoxidil tartrate

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Minoxidil is an antihypertensive and a vasodilator. Minoxidil, applied topically, is used for the treatment of hair loss. It is effective in helping promote hair growth in people with androgenic alopecia regardless of sex. Minoxidil is an adenosine 5'-triphosphate-sensitive potassium channel opener, causing hyperpolarization of cell membranes. Minoxidil stimulates prostaglandin E2 production by activating COX-1 and prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase-1 but inhibits prostacyclin production. minoxidil contains a nitric oxide moiety and may act as a nitric oxide agonist.
