The mechanism of action of minoxidil to promote hair growth is not fully explained. Minoxidil is a potassium channel opener, meaning, vasodilator drug-like widening blood vessels, it allows more oxygen, blood, and nutrients to the follicles. This may cause follicles in the telogen phase to shed, which are then replaced by thicker hairs in a new anagen phase. Minoxidil is a prodrug that is converted by the sulfotransferase enzyme to its active form, minoxidil sulfate. Several studies demonstrated that the activity of sulfotransferase in hair follicles predicts minoxidil response in the treatment of hair loss.
Minoxidil is less effective when the area of hair loss is large and elderly. Its effectiveness has largely been demonstrated in younger men who have experienced hair loss for less than 5 years.
This drug or medicine was developed to control blood pressure. In addition to that, it showed hair growth when applied to the scalp.
As in all medical science, no medicine is free of side effects and contraindications, so also present with minoxidil.
So always it is advisable to use minoxidil with supervision of medical specialist.
