What is Minoxidil?

Minoxidil, the active ingredient in Minoxidil Xiromed, is a potassium channel opener presented as a topical solution for topical use. It is used to treat androgenetic alopecia in men and women by promoting hair growth; it works by prolonging the anagen phase of hair follicles, increasing follicular size and density.

GNH USA supplies Minoxidil Xiromed as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide, providing quality‑assured products that meet EU regulatory standards and supporting global procurement needs.

What is Minoxidil used for?

Minoxidil acts on the hair growth cycle to address conditions of patterned hair loss. - Androgenetic alopecia (male pattern): stimulates regrowth of terminal hairs on the scalp. - Androgenetic alopecia (female pattern): increases hair shaft thickness and overall density. - General scalp hair thinning: improves overall hair coverage and reduces shedding.

What are the side effects of Minoxidil?

Frequently asked questions

What is Minoxidil Xiromed used for?+

What is the usual dose of Minoxidil Xiromed?+
The specific dosing regimen for Minoxidil Xiromed is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Typically, the prescriber will advise the amount of solution to apply to the scalp and the frequency of application.
