How Minoxiboon 10 Tablet Works
Minoxiboon 10 Tablet belongs to the class of potassium channel openers and acts as a peripheral vasodilator. It opens ATP‑sensitive potassium channels in vascular smooth muscle, which dilates arteries, reduces peripheral vascular resistance, and lowers blood pressure in difficult‑to‑control hypertension.
Benefits
- Helps lower blood pressure in certain cases of severe or resistant hypertension when other medicines are ineffective or not suitable.
- Reduces peripheral vascular resistance by relaxing arterial smooth muscle and improving blood flow.
- Used as a second‑line or add‑on antihypertensive under close specialist supervision.
Directions for Use
Take Minoxiboon 10 Tablet exactly in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor, with or without food, preferably at the same time each day. Swallow the tablet whole with water and do not chew, crush, or break it, and do not stop the medicine suddenly without medical advice, as blood pressure control may be lost.
Possible Side Effects
Some side effects may lessen as your body adjusts to the medicine, but medical review is needed if symptoms are persistent, severe, or worrying. Your doctor may recommend regular monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate, and blood counts during treatment.
- Hypertrichosis (excessive hair growth)
- Weight gain and fluid retention
- Tachycardia (fast heart rate) or palpitations
- Hypotension (low blood pressure) and headache
