How Men'S Rogaine Affects Patients
Minoxidil is a drug that can both be taken orally to reduce high blood pressure, and can be applied topically to treat hair loss. It works by widening the arteries and decreasing the amount of resistance in the blood vessels. It also improves blood flow in animals and humans, while maintaining kidney function. The majority of its effects are seen in the arteries, rather than veins, which helps to prevent sudden drops in blood pressure. The active ingredient in minoxidil is minoxidil sulfate.
How Men'S Rogaine works in the body
Minoxidil is believed to help hair cells stay alive by turning on two different pathways in the cells and increasing the ratio of a protective protein to one that causes cell death. It also widens the blood vessels, which may help hair cells or follicles stay healthy.
