Minoxytop 10 mg Tablet
Product Description
Minoxytop 10 mg Tablet contains Minoxidil, a potent peripheral vasodilator primarily indicated for the treatment of severe or resistant hypertension that does not respond adequately to conventional antihypertensive therapies. It is prescribed under strict medical supervision and is usually used in combination with other medicines.
In selected cases, oral Minoxidil may also be prescribed off-label by specialists for hair loss management, only when clearly indicated and carefully monitored.
