Kopdil(Minoxidil)

Product Description

Minoxidil was first used exclusively as an oral drug to treat high blood pressure. It was found to have the interesting side-effect of hair growth and reversing baldness. Since ***8, Minoxidil has been used for treating hair loss. The mechanism of action for Minoxidil is not known, as no other vasodilator has been shown to be effective in treating hair loss. Recently, researchers at L’Oreal found that hair disorders cause psychological distress but are generally poorly controlled. Minoxidil is very effective in frontal areas of the scalp, and also in the vertex area in male-pattern hair loss. Typical use level is from 2 to 5% in solution. Minoxidil is the only proven hair loss treatment available without prescription. Suggested that Minoxidil works by activating PGHS 1 (prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase*1) which may help promote hair growth
