Minoxidil Viatris

Minoxidil, the active ingredient in Minoxidil Viatris, is a vasodilator presented as a topical solution for transdermal use. It is indicated for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia in both men and women. GNH USA supplies Minoxidil Viatris as a licensed, GDP-compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Minoxidil acts on the hair growth cycle to address pattern hair loss and related thinning.

- Androgenetic alopecia (male pattern): improves hair density and slows further loss on the scalp. - Androgenetic alopecia (female pattern): enhances hair regrowth and reduces thinning. - General hair thinning: supports increased hair shaft thickness and overall scalp coverage.

Common Side Effects: - Scalp irritation: itching, redness, or burning sensation at the application site. - Dryness or flaking of the scalp skin. - Unwanted facial hair growth when applied near the forehead. - Temporary shedding of existing hair during the initial weeks of treatment.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe allergic reaction: rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing. - Chest pain or rapid heartbeat indicating systemic absorption. - Dizziness or light‑headedness. - Unexplained weight gain or swelling of hands and feet.
