Minoxidil is a vasodilator used for the treatment of severe hypertension and androgenetic alopecia. For alopecia, it stimulates hair growth by improving blood flow to the scalp.

The medication is administered topically for alopecia or orally for hypertension, with the dose adjusted based on the indication and patient response. Common side effects include local irritation, excessive hair growth in other areas, and fluid retention.

Minoxidil is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to the active substance or severe cardiac conditions. Its use also requires careful monitoring to prevent cardiovascular complications.

This medication is an effective option for managing alopecia and severe hypertension, helping to improve patients' quality of life.
