WHAT ASU MINOXIDIL IS USED FOR
Asu Minoxidil is used to stimulate hair
growth and is used in the treatment of hair
loss (alopecia androgenetica)
HOW ASU MINOXIDIL WORKS
The
mechanism
by
which
minoxidil
stimulates
hair
growth
is
not
fully
understood, but minoxidil can reverse the
hair loss process of androgenetic alopecia
by increasing the diameter of the hair shaft,
stimulating anagen growth, prolonging the
anagen
phase
and
stimulating
anagen
recovery
from
the
telegon
phase.
As
a
peripheral vasodilator, minoxidil enhances
microcirculation
to
hair
follicles.
The
Vascular
Endothelial
Growth
Factor
(VEGF) is stimulated by minoxidil and
VEGF is presumably responsible for the
increased capillary fenestration, indicative
of a high metabolic activity that observed
during the anagen phase.
BEFORE YOU USE ASU MINOXIDIL
_-WHEN YOU MUST NOT USE IT _

Do not use Asu Minoxidil if you are
known allergic (hypersensitive) to any
ingredients in this medicine.


skin or areas affected by psoriasis, severe
sunburn, or severe excoriations, because

_Pregnancy and lactation _

Do not take Asu Minoxidil if you are
pregnant, trying to get pregnant or think
you may be pregnant.

Do not take Asu Minoxidil if you are
breastfeeding.
Ask
your
doctor
or
pharmacist for advice before taking any

PHARMACODYNAMIC PROPERTIES
The mechanism by which minoxidil stimulates hair growth is not fully
understood,
but
minoxidil
can
reverse
the
hair
loss
process
of
androgenetic
alopecia
by
increasing the diameter of the hair shaft, stimulating anagen growth,
prolonging the
anagen phase and stimulating anagen recovery from the telegon phase.
As a

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) is stimulated by minoxidil
and VEGF
is presumably responsible for the increased capillary fenestration,
indicative of a
high metabolic activity, observed during the anagen phase.
PHARMACOKINETIC PROPERTIES
About 0.3 to 4.5% of a topical dose of minoxidil is absorbed from
intact scalp.
Minoxidil is not bound to plasma proteins. It is distributed into
breast milk.
Minoxidil is extensively metabolised by the liver. It requires
sulfation to become
active, but the major metabolite is a glucuronide conjugate. Minoxidil
is excreted
predominantly in the urine mainly in the form of metabolites.
Minoxidil and its
metabolites are dialysable, although the pharmacological effect is not
reversed.

apply Asu
Minoxidil Topical Solution 5%w/v to any other area of the body.
