Lonitab (minoxidil) is a topical solution clinically formulated to address androgenetic alopecia in both men and women. As a potassium channel opener and vasodilator, it works by prolonging the anagen phase of the hair growth cycle, increasing blood flow to hair follicles, and potentially enlarging miniaturized follicles. Supported by decades of dermatological research and FDA approval, Lonitab offers a non-invasive, evidence-based approach to managing pattern hair loss. Its well-established efficacy and safety profile make it a first-line therapeutic option recommended by healthcare professionals worldwide for stimulating hair regrowth and slowing further progression of baldness.

Common use
Lonitab is primarily indicated for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness). In men, it is typically used for vertex baldness and receding anterior hairline. For women, it is indicated for diffuse hair thinning across the crown of the scalp. Treatment is most effective when initiated during early stages of hair loss, though it may provide benefit at various stages of progression. Patients typically notice initial results after 4-6 months of consistent use, with optimal results appearing after approximately one year of continuous treatment. Maintenance of results requires ongoing application.
Dosage and direction
Apply 1 mL of solution twice daily directly to the scalp in the affected area, regardless of hair washing schedule. For the foam formulation, apply half a capful once daily. Part hair to expose affected areas and apply directly to dry scalp. Gently massage into scalp with fingertips. Wash hands thoroughly after application. Allow solution to dry completely before styling hair or going to bed. Do not apply to other body areas. Do not exceed recommended dosage. For optimal absorption, ensure scalp is clean and free from other topical products before application.
Precautions
Discontinue use and consult a physician if chest pain, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, or faintness occurs. Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, and sensitive skin areas. Do not use on irritated or sunburned scalp. Patients with cardiovascular disease, hypertension, or history of heart problems should consult a physician before use. Monitor for signs of hypersensitivity reactions including itching, rash, or facial swelling. Use caution when applying near open flames as some formulations contain flammable ingredients. Do not share applicators between individuals to prevent cross-contamination.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to minoxidil or any component of the formulation. Not for use in patients with pheochromocytoma. Contraindicated in patients with a history of unexplained syncope or cardiovascular events. Should not be used by women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Not recommended for patients under 18 years of age. Avoid use in patients with scalp conditions including psoriasis, eczema, or severe dermatitis. Contraindicated in patients with history of hypersensitivity to propylene glycol (in solution formulation).
Possible side effects
Most common: scalp itching, flaking, dryness, and irritation (approximately 7% of users). Less frequently: hypertrichosis (increased facial hair growth) reported in some female users. Cardiovascular effects including tachycardia, palpitations, and blood pressure changes may occur, particularly with excessive application or in predisposed individuals. Dermatological reactions including contact dermatitis, erythema, and scaling may develop. Temporary increased hair shedding may occur during the first 2-8 weeks of treatment as resting hairs are pushed out by new growth. Most side effects are mild and transient, resolving with continued use or dosage adjustment.
Drug interaction
Potential interactions with antihypertensive medications due to minoxidil’s vasodilatory effects. Caution advised when using with guanethidine or other potent antihypertensives. Topical corticosteroids may increase systemic absorption when applied to same areas. No clinically significant interactions identified with oral contraceptives, antibiotics, or most systemic medications. However, patients using multiple topical scalp treatments should space applications by several hours to prevent interaction or reduced absorption. Consult healthcare provider before combining with other hair growth treatments including finasteride.
Missed dose
Apply missed dose as soon as remembered, unless it is nearly time for the next scheduled application. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed application. Resume regular dosing schedule with the next application. Consistent daily application is important for optimal results, but occasional missed doses are unlikely to significantly impact long-term efficacy. Maintain regular application schedule rather than attempting to compensate for multiple missed doses. If multiple doses are missed, resume normal application pattern without adjustment.
Overdose
Topical overdose may occur with excessive application or accidental ingestion. Symptoms may include cardiovascular effects such as hypotension, tachycardia, dizziness, or fluid retention. In case of accidental ingestion, seek immediate medical attention. Topical overdose may cause severe scalp irritation, hypotension, or cardiovascular symptoms. Treatment is supportive and symptomatic. Dialysis is not effective due to high protein binding. Monitor cardiovascular status and provide symptomatic care. Store product out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidental ingestion.
Storage
Store at room temperature (15-30°C or 59-86°F). Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Protect from light and excessive heat. Do not freeze. Keep away from open flames or heat sources as formulation may be flammable. Store upright to prevent leakage. Do not transfer to unlabeled containers. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Discard any solution that has changed color or developed particles. Do not use after expiration date printed on packaging.
Disclaimer
This information is for educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Individual results may vary. Lonitab is not effective for all types of hair loss. Consultation with a healthcare professional is recommended before starting treatment, especially for patients with medical conditions or taking other medications. Proper diagnosis of hair loss type is essential before beginning treatment. Not all users will experience significant hair regrowth. Discontinuation of treatment may result in reversal of gained benefits within 3-4 months.
Reviews
Clinical studies demonstrate approximately 40% of male users experience moderate to dense hair regrowth after 12 months of twice-daily application of 5% solution. Female users show similar response rates with 2% formulation. Dermatological assessments indicate significant improvement in hair count and coverage compared to placebo. Patient-reported outcomes show high satisfaction with improved hair appearance and slowed hair loss progression. Long-term studies confirm maintained efficacy with continuous use up to 5 years. Most users report manageable side effects that diminish over time. Treatment effectiveness varies based on individual factors including age, duration of hair loss, and application consistency.
