How Minogain 2.5mg Tablet Works
Minogain 2.5mg Tablet belongs to the class of potassium channel openers and acts as a peripheral vasodilator. By relaxing and enlarging small arteries, it reduces peripheral vascular resistance and lowers blood pressure, while also improving microcirculation around hair follicles to create conditions that favor hair growth.
Benefits
- Helps reduce high blood pressure in selected patients, often alongside other antihypertensives.
- Improves blood flow to hair follicles, which can promote thicker growth and slow further hair loss in pattern baldness.
- May contribute to better heart function in certain heart failure settings when used under specialist guidance.
