Your prescription of Lonitab (Minoxidil 2.5 mg) for hair growth can be appropriate even if you do not have blood pressure or sugar issues. Minoxidil was originally developed as a medication to treat high blood pressure by widening blood vessels, but it is now commonly used in lower doses to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth.
The 1.25 mg dose you mentioned is relatively low and often prescribed for hair loss treatment rather than for blood pressure control. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully and monitor for any side effects.
If you have any concerns or experience unusual symptoms, please discuss them with your doctor for personalized advice and reassurance. For any urgent issues, you can contact Apollo 24|7 Emergency at 1066.
