Product details of Lonitab 5mg
Lonitab 5mg is a generic drug for the AGA treatment
Lonitab 5mg, developed by Pfizer, a well-known ED treatment Viagra.
The manufacturer and distributor, Intas Pharma, owns pharmaceutical factories in 10 countries around the world, including its hometown of India, and is approved by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of each country, such as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
It is a therapeutic drug that takes the active ingredient minoxidil orally.
Since it takes in ingredients from the body, it is more effective on the entire scalp than the same minoxidil-based application-type remedies.
Effect of Lonitab 5mg
Minoxidil contained in Lonitab 5mg has the effect of dilating blood vessels, so taking it will improve blood circulation.
When blood flows to the capillaries of the head, necessary nutrients are distributed to the head, and it becomes easier for the hair to be supplied with sufficient nutrients, which has hair growth and hair growth effects.
Estimated manifestation of the effect of Lonitab 5mg
It is a drug that exerts its effects by continuing to use it for a long period of time.
Please wait 6 months for the effect to appear.
If you stop using it in the middle, you will lose the newly grown hair, so please continue taking it.
Indications for Lonitab 5mg
Lonitab 5mg is effective for the symptoms of AGA (male pattern baldness).
- Those who suffer from AGA
- Those who feel that hair loss has increased
- Those who feel that their hair has become thinner
- Those who want to strengthen their hair and increase the amount of hair
- Those who are not good at application type minoxidil
Active ingredient of Lonitab 5mg
The active ingredient minoxidil works on hair matrix cells to activate them and promote hair growth.
If the growth period can be maintained for a long time, the amount of hair loss will decrease and the hair will become thicker and stronger.
When the active ingredient circulates in the body, it reaches the hair matrix cells in areas where it is difficult for external medicines to penetrate, such as narrow pores, and the function of the hair matrix cells is activated, resulting in a hair growth effect.
