Use of the substance Minoxidil
Minoxidil has hypotensive and vasodilating effects. Active substances stimulate hair growth.
The use of the drug allows you to activate potassium channels and act on cells at the peripheral level. Dilatation of arterioles or resistive vessels, decreased load on the myocardium, and decreased blood pressure contribute to reflex tachycardia and increased cardiac output. Due to the complex effect, the activity of blood plasma renin increases. In addition, at the cellular level, water and sodium are not excreted.
Minoxidil is actively used to treat problems associated with androgen-dependent alopecia. Increased hair growth is achieved through vasodilation, as well as a significant improvement in microcirculation in the skin. Hair follicles gradually move from the resting phase to the growth phase. There is a so-called change from the telogen phase to the anagen phase. The effect of androgens on the hair follicles is modulated. The amount of 5-alpha-dehydrosterone produced, which contributes to the development of baldness, decreases.
The maximum effect can be achieved if you start using minoxidil at a young age, if the disease has recently begun to develop. The result will be more noticeable if you treat a bald spot localized in the parietal region, with a size of no more than ten centimeters. Of course, in more advanced cases, the result of using the drug will also be noticeable. However, it is better to start the fight against baldness at the initial stage.
In most cases, hair growth is observed after just a few months of regular use of the drug. However, after stopping taking minoxidil, you may notice the appearance of small bald patches in problem areas.
It is important to note that menaxidil is not able to cope with the problem of baldness caused by the use of medications, as well as by nutritional disorders, as a result of which the body did not receive the required dose of iron, vitamin A and other useful elements. Using minoxidil will not help if hair loss is associated with constantly wearing tight hairstyles.
The maximum effect over a short period of time was noticed by patients who began using the product within five years after detecting the first signs of the disease.
90% of the dose taken is absorbed after oral administration. The peak value is reached within one hour. By using the drug topically, applying it to the skin, you can get approximately 1.4% of the active substance.
When conducting experimental tests, experts did not reveal a mutagenic effect.
